FWIW, the kind of comment you wrote is easy to type, but it is not so easy to let go of a loved one, let alone participate in their murder, er, assisted suicide. Of course that not to say a lot of people don’t do that.

Which baffles me. After all, if I were to kill you, am I not taking YOUR life? If it is YOUR life then why are you not allowed to do with it as you please?
The question is pretty simple. "Do I want to do what is best for YOU or what is best for ME?". Do I want to keep you suffering even there is little to no hope because that is what you would have wanted or do I want to keep you alive and suffering because it is best for me because I have some guilt to assuage or whatever. We faced those decisions when we put down our dogs. Is it best to prolong their lives just because we want them to be somewhat alive and they suffer for our sake or do we end the suffering for them because it is in their best interests.
