Gary Johnson: Assisted suicide acceptable after psychological examination

• Q: Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?
• Hillary Clinton: I don't know the answer to that. I have a great deal of sympathy for people who are in difficult end-of-life situations.
