It wouldn't be the decision of the Government, it would be a decision by the person in pain, if anything not having it legalized means that the Government is controlling peoples options related to their own life rather than allowing individuals the right to choose. - Thus your stance is a little bit (And respectfully) hypocritical.
I didn't ask if you worked in an emergency room... That kind of life experience isn't necessary to get an appropriate idea of what kind of quality of life (Or lack there-of) these people looking at such options have.
We are talking about individuals confined to a bed in excessive pain, unable to walk, partake in family events like birthdays, work or live life, they generally need a carer/nurse to look after them... And often many are unable to even sleep due to the constant excessive pain without the aid of powerful drugs... In short, they are a vegetable that is constantly screaming out for help... And they can end up being in that state for decades... It's frankly rather depressing.
In any other scenario we would put an animal down to end it's suffering, where-as with human beings we seem to prolong it.
I used to work as a carer, I had to care for such individuals, it's not pretty, it's not easy...
