So? Sorry to be so callus, but I'd wager there are many more people suffering daily in hospice and family members risking jail time to end the suffering of their relatives. I have second hand experience with this. The doctor told a relative of mine "whatever you do, don't turn this knob here, or they will die a painless silent death" and walked out of the room.

Thank you for making this point. I've never been brave enough to make this point, but often thought about it. Even in psychiatric cases, I think it is not unreasonable to assume that having a more accepting approach to ending your life will not result in significantly more deaths and a lot less suffering.
