You're getting downvotes but what you say follows logically, we all suffer to some extent, we all die at some point. The distinction between maid eligible cases and ineligible cases seems arbitrary to me.

Not all death involves suffering. Some people just go to bed one night and die quietly in their sleep.

Right but ideally we would be able to prevent that so it never happens unexpectedly and we all only ever go out on our own choice when we're done/ready/whatever

It sounds better to me to just not wake up one day than to know when death is near, but maybe there are some great anti anxiety/depressant drugs to deal with existential doom feelings when that time comes.

You can't, sudden cardiac arrest could happen anytime to anyone.
