Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?

Yes. I believe in being legally allowed an assisted and dignified death. (However, if someone is found trying to kill themselves, I do believe that intervening can often be in their best interest. If they still want to die later, we can let them. Or maybe they were in crisis and will thank us for it.)

Of course, this should not be granted lightly. It should first be ascertained that the person is in the best mental state they are reasonably likely to return to, and that there is no case for coercion. This should be a rigerous assessment, signed off by multiple professionals.

I don't agree that you should have to be terminally ill. Just that you're in the best position to make choices that you can be. If you've lost your mind or have become incapable of communication, then previously written living wills can be considered, along with those people who have been previously elected to make such decisions. I'd sign this over to my wife right now, if I could. Don't let me suffer babe. I would trust that's enough for her to decide.
