I am talking about myself, I don't need anybody else to follow my choices, if I preferred being in pain while alive to be with my family that is my choice and mine only. Others can do what they want. But the more we help people dealing with complications, the more time they'll spend with loved ones and the less they'll need to commit suicide. It benefits all society.
Your choice is yours and everyone else's choice should be theirs alone as well. Some "complications" cannot be helped. Some people suffer immensely and there is no therapy or medicine that could alleviate their pain and humiliation. They deserve to be allowed a nice goodbye before things get too horrible and a peaceful death if that's what they choose.
Sadly most people in most places are not allowed that option.
I just think we should take things with prudence and not go to the extreme of allowing everyone to die without justification. Let's say this case - A woman wants to die but is a mother of two children, they need the mother or else they have no relatives, do we allow? What causes are legitimate do ask to die? For instance, is blindness or deafness legitimate? Anorexia? Obesity? I really don't know. Again, what causes can be considered legitimate? If I'm healthy and physically capable, can I go to a doctor and ask him to kill me?
I investigated our law and I discovered euthanasia is indirectly allowed but only in extreme situations, when the patient doesn't wish to continue treatment-
