I'm not sick or anything right now but people who say things like this terrify me.
Everyone is going to have to depend on other people's judgement sooner or later, and by the numbers, most people still think there is some kind of soul or afterlife, or at least don't assume there isn't! The only protection from people like that is for there to be no mixed messages and no option for them to commit what they believe to be mercy.
The comment you are responding to is not asking for the option to decide if your life is worth living. It is asking for everyone to have the option to decide for themselves if their own life is worth living.

Things like what?
To answer your question: numerous, with a multiple of that impacted in terms of the long painful witnessing of someone dying and/or carrying the emotional and physical burden of supporting the patient. Which is precisely why I am so conflicted.
Though I feel like your question was rhetorical and not an actual attempt to engage in understanding an alternate perspective.
Did you have the experience where people were talking about end of life care before the afflicted individual was ready to go, and you believe if euthanasia were legal they would have pressured the individual to go through with it?
How many people have you watched die? By the time you get to the point anyone is talking about hospice or refusing life saving care that person's life has been nothing but misery, pain and suffering for a while.
