Do you realise that you actually going to die? Sooner or later. The question is not about death, but quality of live. If you suffer because of illnes that cannot be treated and your life quality cannot be increased to acceptable levels, there is nothing wrong to choose death.

Most people are health enough they cant imagine how bad life can be if you suffer every damn day, and you are at mercy of others.

The original story is about someone getting out of healthcare, because they encountered chronically ill people who really really wanted to live.

No. It was about someone getting out of healthcare because there they encountered the scum of the earth who would scam and fraud and exploit dying people with this wish to live.
