My point still stands, suicide is an way for people to escape whatever ills them, regardless of the source of pain in effect the base reason for suicide is till there regardless of whatever ills you (depression, etc). It can be taken also that because the person is ill they cannot think clearly and act in desperation on the pain that they fill. The only case I see is that the person has an terminal illness, which my point is that they should be encourage to live out the rest of there lives in a fruitful manner then opting out of it. In effect thinking because there have an terminal illness, they in an way are making it another excuse to opt out.

Another strawman... you're equating being depressed with terminal illness. The very nature of terminal illnesses has to be taken into account. And Euthanasia is only reserved for the deteriorating (think bed-ridden) or those that are about to deteriorate and haven't long to live. Someone who has a terminal illness in it's early stages but is still fully functional as a human will be denied it.
Euthanasia allows the terminally ill to die on their own terms with dignity.
