Full-disclosure: personally I'm a big supporter of an individual's right to choose to end their own life in a medically-facilitated manner.

There's something weird about letting people who are happy with life (read: society) choose to force someone who isn't to continue living, against their wishes.

Governmemt should not be involved in ending someone's life; Not at their own choosing, nor at forcing them to continue living.

The alternatives then are self service, or private businesses providing assistance? If we want to endorse the former then educating people on the best way to painlessly end their life might be a good idea, the latter though seems like a bad idea with some very badly aligned incentives.
