In regards to those who are so ill that their quality of life has been diminished beyond any reasonable level and thereby choose to end it ...

It takes place all the time in the US.

Physicians and patients talk it out. Patients then make choices that allow them to control the moment. Of course the physician is not present at the time when the act is played out, because then someone could stick their nose where it doesn't belong and then sue the doc and ruin the doc's life.

The fact is that a planned suicide results in a far more humane situation than leaving people desperate and alone and left with no real option but to do themselves in under unseemly and very possibly terrifying conditions.

I'd opt for if I were in situations such as those I know who were compelled to make that choice.
