It absolutely ridiculous that in the United States only a few states support assisted suicide.
Don't even get me started on the costs related to take care of someone in a nursing home 5-8k minimum, per month.

Assisted suicide is terribly difficult to do properly; to certify that the decision was made free of external influence, and that the person is of sound mind at the time the decision is made is in most cases impossible.
It's an incredibly cruel thing to do, and yet it keeps happening wherever it is allowed.
As for extreme pain, there is hospice. Calling assisted suicide medical care is so fraught with perverse incentives that it will certainly cause more harm than good.
