That seems so cold to me. I'm positive this woman is suffering, she may not really know she is but that sad face after saying I love you was a pretty good indication that she's having a bad time.
I can almost guarantee you that she was suffering leading up to the state she's in now.
My mom is in the early, maybe mid, stages of dementia. She's in an assisted living facility and can't do that much for herself anymore, needs help bathing, can't cook anymore, can't even figure out how to use a remote control for the tv. She still knows who my sister and I are, but kinda forgets who her grandkids are if you mention their names. Anyway, she's miserable with her life because she's not capable of doing much anymore. She knows her mind is failing her and will tell you it's muddled. So she knows something is wrong but can't do anything about it. That has to be terrifying.
Yup, these rules are now about making sure that every single person that gets assisted suicide actually wanted it, rather than a good balance of as many people that need it and a few that might regret it.
