I don’t think there’s quite enough information in the article to fully evaluate it. Depending on what the precise requirements are, what this “evaluation panel” involves, and how long the panel can take to make a decision, you could certainly have a rational objection there.
But, overall, it at least seems pretty good. I have always been incensed that if I were terminally ill in most US states, the law would treat me worse than my dog. Laws like this are a huge step in the right direction, IMO.
Edit: I’d be fully satisfied when the law allows me to specify when I want my own suffering ended via advance directive. It really shouldn’t be the burden of a terminally ill person to have to make those decisions at the end of their life.
