Incentives are different between state and private actors. The state has many tools at it's disposal to encourage or even force suicide (aka, murder in the latter case). The state is the ultimate arbiter of whether or not someone is mentally incapacitated, thus they can determine who lives and who dies. I can't think of anything more shameful than encouraging a non-terminal person to kill themselves.
