That's absolutely not what they're doing. If you want to fix society, stop the societal factors that create the urge. Don't try in vain to take autonomy away and force people to barbaric, unreliable, dehumanizing solutions after the urge has already overtaken them. That's cruel, ill-advised, and sick. Especially when, like in Goldberg's case, you're doing it for money.
Forcing people to a rope or a gun just serves to add "disabled" to their list of problems (or amplify their existing problems, if "lack of autonomy" is part of their reason), and then instead of them having their previous problems, they now have their previous problems plus one. At least with suicide your problems go away, because you stop existing.
