There are no easy answers to any of these questions, but I think that fixing our healthcare system needs to be the absolute top priority. The broken system is very likely what is causing many of these people to want to die, moreso than their medical conditions. Will that end up forcing some people to continue to suffer? Very likely. There’s not a perfect interim solution, and I think the position that we should allow people to choose suicide until we get the overall system fixed is a defensible position. It’s not mine, but I think it’s valid.
