    I struggle to see what they all keep talking about.
    It seems to have a lot of things wrong with how they want to implement it in my opinion, mostly about how it would be done practically.
    But they seem to be messing around with coercion.

    I do think coercion could become an issue for a small minority and needs guarding against. But as anyone being assisted will have less than 6 months left to live, even a coerced person would only lose a very short span of life. Balancing this against the pain and suffering that might be alleviated for other terminally ill people and I think the risk is worth it.
