As the article I posted points out, the hospital is allowing a suicide advocacy group to enter the hospital to look for victims. That is far different from giving doctors a greater range of treatment options (e.g. no resuscitation, pain relief only, etc)

The article also states:
Patients wishing to take their own lives must have expressed a persistent wish to die, be of sound mind, suffer from an incurable disease and carry out the final act themselves.
I can't say that I agree with allowing an outside group enter into a hospital but I also can't say that aiding patients who want to end their life and must commit the act themselves is "looking for victims".
