I hope I can respond to this more fully later on, but It's so sad to see people suffer like that. I've seen it many times in my life. Manifested in ways very similar to the case you're describing, to others, like alzheimer's, which ends up ravaging it's sufferers physically as well the longer it persists, or people who are so mentally ill that suffer constantly in different ways. All of theses different situations make a case for a assisted suicide. In situation you're describing, would she pass away if not given medication(s)? Are there machines keeping her alive? If yes, would dying without whatever is keeping her alive be prolonged or painful? Assisted suicide is whole other thing, and in this case, sadly, it would absolutely be the best option.

Machines and hard medication was the only thing keeping her alive. The machines/meds keep her alive but they don't stop the pain anymore. It'll be a painful death either way, but it won't be prolonged if she were taken off both.
