It's worth noting here that explaining that a patient can end their suffering is very different from convincing a patient to end their suffering.
Yes, I realise you wrote "convince them that they may end their suffering," but makes little sense. Convincing someone that they may end their suffering would go like this:
"You can end your suffering."
"Can I?"
"Yes."
"Oh."

Remember when you were a kid and your mother explained to you the difference between 'may' and 'can'? Yes, it is possible to end one's suffering (in this world, anyway — no guarantees about the next), but it is not licit.
