I agree with Becky. I too am pro physician assisted suicide.
Here's a Twitter interview with Tony Nickinson:

And an Observer editorial on the matter:

> I wanted to write to you the other week, but I wasn't feeling well,
> however because the debate is still active and is now being discussed
> in the English High Court because of a case brought by Tony Nickinson
> I now feel I want to speak my mind.
>
> I don't know the people personally who have alerted us to the polls on
> the issue of Physician Assisted Suicide but I do have my concerns when
> the poster appears to influence our thinking and tells us how to vote
> - this is not a democracy. Each of us should be proud that with the
> right to make our own choices in life.
>
> If this singles me out as an outcast, then so be it, but I'd ask you
> to consider what that makes you.
>
> For the record, I am pro Physician Assisted Suicide and I support the
> efforts of Tony Nickinson and his legal team.
>
> Thanks.
