Over here (the Netherlands) assisted suicide is possible under certain conditions. We call it euthanasia. There are strict rules surrounding this, for one you need to sign a special form when you are still sound of mind. My mother in law got terminal cancer and she kept postponing signing the form. Then it spread out in her brains and she got a seizure. She wasn't allowed to sign the form anymore although then of course she wanted to sign and we had to wait until her body gave up.
