Right to Suicide?

OK, the US keeps talking about the sanctity of life, yet it countenances carrying firearms for the purpose of killing people rather than properly address the issue of crime.
Foeti are considered alive at conception in the minds of some religious people, despite the fact that spontaneous abortions do occur. Are women criminals if they miscarry?
Now, A BBC Producer has raised the topic of assisted suicide in the UK. She had lung and liver cancer when she went to Switzerland to end her life.
She made a message where she calls politicans cowards for not properly addressing this issue.
There is a contradiction in the US where people see life as sacred, yet are willing to accept that killing someone is proper in self-defence rather than use the minimum amount of force necessary to stop that threat.
Or, even more appropriately, addressing the causes of crime with something other than bumper sticker slogans.
So, US politicians are also cowards who refuse to lead. They follow.
