Bolians.
(Bolians were named for director Cliff Bole, who directed "Conspiracy" [TNG], the first episode in
    which these aliens were seen).

Appearance:
    Humanoid species distinguished by a light blue / bluish-grey skin.  They have quite long earlobes
    and a vertical, bifurcated ridge running down the center of their face, and along their bodies.  Many
    Bolians also have darker blue markings on their scalps.  The males of this species are bald.

Culture:
Death:
Assisted Suicide - The Bolians have a principle of assisted suicide that dates back to their middle ages.

    even if that same action had the secondary effect of causing death was ethical.
