I think with our medical system having the extreme profit motive that it does, it is a good safety measure.

If I'm diagnosed with Stage-4 Pancreatic Cancer and know I'm going to die in 6 months, if I have to see an extra doctor and go in front of a board to procure my right to die, I think it's worth it so long as the board is required to heed the physician's opinion.

Protecting the right to die, to me, is just as important as procuring it. If there is abuse in any way that can be proven, it will be that much easier to repeal the law.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
