I understand your point, but some of these ‘die with dignity organizations’ target those who are dying. They used to send a family member who was sick (but had alot of life in him still) literature with detailed steps and methods on how to take his own life. There was alot of convincing info for those who were depressed or confused about a life long illness, giving them plenty of reasons to take their life. I think they preyed on them before their time. It was illegal in this particular state, so I contacted them and told them to never send another piece of literature again. This family member lived another 20 years.

On the flip side, many people hang on as long as they can before wanting to escape...and then find they are no longer able to do it without assistance.

So unless a person can get assistance, the only answer is to make a premature exit to be sure. And that’s what’s happening more now.
