The others are really not necessary from a technical pov, could have suicide pill vending machines around the place.

Even with a pill machine every person involved in the process of setting is facilitating each suicide. This is not the same as recognizing that someone who hangs themselves has a right to do so.

The question is just as much about us as it is about them.

Right, but if the vending machines with suicide pills are specifically for suicide, then the help of others is still very much necessary. And of course, you'd want to prevents kids and drunk people from using the machines, so you'd need some kind of a gatekeeper.

And that point you've ended up right back at MAID.
