I think it's less mandating and more the persuasion of society or certain members thereof (including maybe just family or acquaintances). 

For me, I would not want anybody who isn't either terminally ill or permanently mobility impaired to be able to use assisted suicide/euthanasia. As well, those safeguards mentioned upthread (which pertained to the Brittany Maynard case) would need to be honored. Any violation of those safeguards by a prescribing doctor would lead to...what is it?...accessory to homicide?
