This is all fine if it concerns themselves. But it's bonkers if it concerns others with other beliefs.
Who determines that their belief that people are not allowed to decide about their own death is more important than my belief that people are not allowed to decide whether others have to suffer. Reminds me of Mother Teresa. Helping the poor but at the same time believing the sick must suffer like Christ on the cross.

IMHO you can practice as much as you want as long as that does not affect others, and if I know something that does not fully own me, for sure is someone else beliefs.

What's wrong with consensual cannibalism anyway? It's their life, I don't care if they like human meat or broccoli as long as that doesn't go above the freedoms and rights of another living being.
Shit, I've gone full libertarian now.
Note that religious believers don't "mix" God in their arguments, they're just speaking from their perspective. They believe that God is just there, that he made and guides everything. What you call "mixing God in" we might call "practising what we preach". It's maybe a bit like asking a Native American to stop "mixing their tribal culture into everything". That's just who they are.
