If there is an accident that leaves a woman disfigured but she is otherwise healthy and she gets a doctor to end her life is that Assisted Suicide or is that Murder?
These debated tend to focus on the most extreme cases, but (for the most part) the people who are against the legalization of assisted suicide are trying to prevent the bar from being lowered to an unacceptable level. Over time the standards of acceptable practices in situations like this will evolve, and it is likely that people who have viable medical options left and the potential for a very acceptable standard of living will seek out (and probably find) unethical doctors who will ignore their obvious depression and help them end their life.
