I think that everyone should have the right to opt out whenever they want. I think that having an easy, sure, painless way to do so would reduce the number of attemps drastically because people would know if you really meant it you would go to the check out station.
I know that there are many, many ways that this can go wrong or be improperly used, but that doesn't change the underlying premise that deciding the terminus of your own life is the ultimate right.
