Nice interview...

the question should be: when it is legal to murder, who gets to do it? when life becomes too unbearable to continue, you can hire a hit man to kill your self...

a doctor can provide medicinal methods to die, cyanide pills or the like

a doctor can provide a pistol as well

a samurai can provide a sword

a pilot can provide elevation

so many ways to die

giving the right to assist in murder, only to one kind of person, seems unfair
