But perhaps others see that if such a thing were legal, it could be easily abused. Basically, people could get away with murder by forging the docs, or forcing people to sign them. If the process were highly controlled, it might be more difficult to do so, but once it's legal, you need an abundance of laws to control the process. It just becomes a slippery slope. He could always go the DIY route. He's a creative guy, I'm sure he can think of plenty of painless ways to end his life.
