I'm not advocating allowing his request because I have any sympathy with him, I am saying that taking into account all the pros and cons, let him die.

I can totally see your point Kirk.
I am not against the death penalty either. Provided it is beyond any doubt that the person is guity snd that it is carried out humanely
However, iin this case I would not consider giving him what he considers the easy option.

No prob Smudgie, but I'd top him in a heartbeat.
