Assisted dying seems an evil thing to me - all the more so because suicide is feasible without society’s involvement and encouragement. One worries that the state and doctors will at some point go from saying “you may” to saying “you should.”
You can't fix everything. Drugs don't fix everything. Not everything can be treated. Seen too many people slowly detoriating, waiting to die for incurrable diseases.
If I have a right to live, I should have a right to die, otherwise I'm a slave.
Moreover, is not assisted dying treated as a privilege, rather than a right? Like a driver’s license, one must apply. It is alienable.
Who else than state? Random people? You can always off yourself, but that is messy. Might as well have a process for that.
being 'alive' and suffering versus dying and ... being dead and not suffering. pretty easy decision.
ultimately the hippocratic oath is about upholding good ethics and being a just individual. the misconception at the heart of all this is that death is unjust or an invalid solution when in fact it is and the stigma around it should be dropped.
