Not necessarily. Many assisted suicides are conducted with a doctor setting up a lethal drug delivery system, that the patient has requested but is unable to arrange without the doctor's help, and then leaving the patient to actually self-administer the drug. However, in cases where the patient is so far gone as to be unable to operate a drug self-administration system, then if the patient has clearly requested it, there should be no obstacle to the doctor carrying out the patient's request.

If I set up a tripwired explosive that kills someone, I would be rightly judged a murderer. A "doctor" who sets up a poison drip that someone trips to kill them self is no different. He is merely a killer who has forgotten to "first, do no harm."

You can sugarcoat the reality all you want. The facilitator is a killer as surely as if they shoved a shotgun in the patient's mouth and pulled the trigger. In fact, I would love to see that as the only acceptable legal way to "assist a suicide" in places like Oregon. Maybe it would give the euthanasia crowd some pause if the method of killing had to be messy and personal..
