sorry that's simply your opinion. for most who seek it for medical reasons, it's the final escape. I don't have enough familiarity with this case to judge but would want the option open should I need it. You have no idea what kind of physical pain people have to live with - shit that can't be touched by opioids or other painkillers, like bone cancer. The only out for some of these folks is to be gorked to unconsciousness. I'd prefer to pass on that and go straight to the end myself.

I would make an exception for someone with severe, incurable physical pain

the problem with exceptions is that they're often nebulous and lead to cover-your-ass decision making that disregards the best outcome for the patient. SEE: Texas birth control laws that supposedly have exceptions for the mother's health, but in fact result in them waiting for their once-fetus to send them into sepsis.

Texas birth control laws

I would simply not be a fascist pretending to care about people's rights and not design laws as if I were one.
