I support medically assisted death but only when I decide that is my best option.
I resent government taking away my right to decide and my right to act with assistance.
"Medically assisted death" is always cheaper. Therefore when it is legally available, there is always going to pervasive, sometimes crudely brutal pressure to get people to "choose" it. And if it is re-invented as a "right," then even if you can't choose it, some humane government-employed ethicist will choose it
for you. 'Cause it's your right, and the mere happenstance that you can't choose it only shows that you really
really need it; so there there, dear, we'll proxy it for you, that's only fair.
If you get to the point that you want to ease right outta life, great, that's fine, but for God's sake do it illegally. Making the thing legal --- worse yet, a "right,"--- only puts another cost-cutting tool in the hands of the omnicompetent compassionate controllers.

Now you know, you can't have one without the other because the right to die with dignity was never about your right, it was always about the right of the state to kill you.
