Abortion

I think abortion is wrong. Even though I, and the majority of most other people (according to polls), think that this is wrong, it should still be legal. Having the option there may tempt woman to have the abortion if the child is unwanted, but looking from another angle, some may resort to such extreme circumstances such as back-alley abortions. There's also other conflicts regarding the banning of abortions such as rape.

Assisted Suicide

     I believe that the assisting of suicide should only be legalized in the form of euthanasia (intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering).
     In Canada, the assisting of suicide can be punishable for up to but not exceeding fourteen years. In Belgium, euthanasia is legal under certain extreme conditions; the patient must be an adult and in a "futile medical condition of constant and unbearable physical or mental suffering that cannot be alleviated," must have a long-term history with the doctors, resulting in euthanasia/physician assisted suicide only being allowed for people residing in the country, and there need to be several requests that are reviewed by a commission and approved by two doctors.
     If someone is in pain and suffering and no longer wants to live their live due to mental or physical illness, than assisted suicide should be allowed, however, it should be carefully monitored and be approved by doctors to be sure that it is a legitimate reason for wanting this done.
