When quality of life drastically changes. Like sure, drug a person and keep them alive for who knows how long and force them to live an awful life.
Make an older person suffer through daily tasks slowly degenerating from life.
Let grandma slowly lose her mind and forget all her family.
I’d much rather let the decide if they want to leave with some dignity while they still can vs being forced to live a life they are going to hate.

I’m for assisted suicide in any case in which medical treatment is no longer going to do anything practically speaking.
What I mean is, for example. Treatment A will give me an extra six months, treatment B gives me five and I’ll be tripping balls the entire time.
At that point, fuck it. Find me a mad scientist that needs a live human rest subject and let’s get weird
This literally sums up how I feel about it as well. I think it should be completely legal everywhere. But I also think that elderly people without terminal illness should also be able to choose.
