  Overall yes, but that pressure might be magnitudes greater when there is “an easy way out”.

    And what is wrong with that?

    I’ll gladly remove myself and the burden of caring for me if it comes to an incurable illness. Better I leave my wife with more resources than drain all those and still leave.

    And argon or nitrogen can easily be had at welding supply stores…

      You shouldn’t draw conclusions about others from yourself.

      Some people might still value what they have. And who are you to tell another what others should do with their live?

        They aren’t telling other people what to do, they are in favor of having the ability to decide. Euthanasia baing illegal is deciding everyone who is terminally ill must have a slow and agonizing death.

    Again, there already is an easy way out. All that would change is the manner in which is happens and whether it happens professionally or not.

      There is an ever so slight difference between the appeal of jumping off a building, slitting your wrists, overdosing on some self-made drug cocktail, … and having a professional inject you a syringe of carefully dosed substances which will make you comfortable drift off into the eternal void. Not just for the patient, but also everyone around them. In the past, I had to comfort a friend who was severely traumatised after a patient of hers jumped out of the hospital’s window after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis.
