There are probably 100x more stories about needlessly painful and drawn-out deaths. It’s a “one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic” sort of thing. Rare cases of abuses of “voluntary” death are unusual and get attention. Common cases where dying people want to end their suffering and can’t are uninteresting, we all know it happens and we probably all know someone it happened to, and we just don’t think about it.
