Everyone has the choice to kill themselves with a gun, knife, car, or whatever. IMO it isn'toutlandish to help them do it in a less messy, less painful way.
We treat old animals better than old people, by letting animals die humane deaths. With people, we expect them to languish in some kind of medical facility until they are stripped of all human dignity and all of the assets they worked a lifetime to earn, then have the government (taxpayers) pay for them until they finally die.
Everyone should IMO have the right to die a humane death if they choose, without resorting to violence and a huge mess to clean up. Legislation to require a few counseling sessions before giving them drugs to end their life is reasonable, but in the end, if they still want to proceed, we should allow it and make it easier to leave a painful life.
If I specify, while I am able, that under x, y, z circumstances I want to be put to death, then even if I become incapacitated, it should happen. My family or the medical system should not have to struggle with this decision when I have spelled it out beforehand. The main reasons IMO that we don't have such a system is because medical corporations make a fortune from this human suffering, and relgious people believe we don't have the right to take our own life.
