I live in Canada. I know people who chose MAiD (our euthanasia process) way because of certain conditions (e.g. one in 80s, with incurable cancer, constant pain). There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing someone suffer, endlessly, begging to go, but having no avenue to go peacefully.
I saw my grandmother go through the most intense amount of pains for about a decade in early 2000s (at about ~70) while she lived with us. We did everything we could. Seeing my mom cry endlessly throughout years rewired my brain to the point where I will always support assisted suicide.
I really don't care if it's "immoral", "slippery slope", "against the natural way of life" and so on. If, at any point in the future, my parents are suffering and decide they want to go out with their own way, I want them to have the choice. And I want that choice to be available for me as well, if it ever comes to that.
