“Not allowing people to choose the time and manner of their own deaths is madness.  It is burning witches.  It is executing people for making scientific discoveries.  It is torturing infidels.  It is absolute, unqualified, inhuman insanity.  There are millions who agree with me and I’ll warn all of you again and again.  Beware!  There could be a horrible fate waiting for you and if you don’t all get together, look each other in the eye, recognize the insanity, and change the laws, you could wake up tomorrow as a head on a corpse with no way out for the next thirty years.”
Clayton Atreus, Two Arms and a Head: The Death of a Newly Paraplegic Philosopher

“So now all of this writing has diverted me from my purpose and I am not in the right state of mind anymore.  If you think it is easy to procrastinate on a school assignment, try killing yourself some time.”
Clayton Atreus, Two Arms and a Head: The Death of a Newly Paraplegic Philosopher

“Someday you will be on your deathbed and maybe you will remember me.  What I say to the world is that if you don’t do something about the way death and assisted suicide are dealt with, you may someday find yourselves in an unimaginably horrible situation with no way out.  Someday when you are helpless you may realize that your life is not your own after all and you will see that sometimes being forced to live is the ultimate tyranny and enslavement.”
