I am still opposed to it. I support alleviating pain and distress with appropriate treatments and should they have the consequence of shortening life then so be it. However, being able to purposefully end life under regulation would raise the unwelcome outcome of some people encouraging the elderly to consent or some tyranny choosing arbitrary conditions.
