The nature of the illness or disability is irrelevant to the request for death. Doctors with no long-term ties to the patients write the lethal prescriptions. Assisted suicide is based on ideology, as opposed to medical urgency. Physician-assisted suicide becomes active killing by doctors. Safety guidelines are meaningless.
Public indifference prevails.
Disabled people may need help living for their entire lifetimes and elderly people for decades. Six of the patients had a 15-day relationship with the doctor who prescribed the lethal pills. Their job isn't to treat the patient. Their job is to help make the patient dead. Paramount is the patient's desire to die.
