So over a hypothetical, the terminally ill and suffering don’t deserve the mercy they seek? I think the states that allow it are a good example of what to expect. Currently watching someone die very painfully, who wishes for the ability to peacefully go. Living in pain and misery, draining all the money she saved within her lifetime for subpar treatment. Let’s hope neither you nor I have to experience this to extend the appropriate compassion.

There's enough evidence showing that many of the people who choose assisted dying are doing so because of financial concerns or because of burden of care to make me believe that we need to fix that first.

A natural death does not have to be painful suffering.
