Stephen Hawking would 'consider' assisted suicide if he was a burden

Professor Stephen Hawking, the physicist, would consider assisted suicide if he felt he had nothing more to contribute to the world and was merely a burden, he has said.

物理学家史蒂芬•infant girl swimsuit bikini.霍金教授曾表示,如果他觉得自己无法再对这个世界做出任何贡献,而仅仅是别人的负担,那么他会考虑协助自杀.

Prof Hawking, who has motor neurone disease, has argued that keeping someone alive against their own wishes is the "ultimate indignity", saying he would think about it in the event he was suffering great pain.
