First, the term 'assisted suicide' is a lie unto itself.

The doctors are murdering their patients, in contradiction of every principle that underlies civilization and the medical profession.

Due process refers to a fair trial being accorded a person who is accused of committing a capital offense.

This is really not that complicated. I'd think a 'Doctor' could understand...

Oh? They cannot administer the meds themselves, only prescribe them.

But how about we go back to the way it used to be, when a prescription was a doctor's professional recommendation, not something required for obtaining medicines.

You're right, it is very simple.

Since you didn't answer my question, I'll assume that you agree that no one is being deprived of any constitutional rights in the case of assisted suicide.

And since that's obviously the case, why isn't this a matter for a person to decide on their own, without the federal government interfering?

Perhaps you trust the government a little more than I do, but I want to remain in control of my own life up until the end WITHOUT being Congress's advice and consent.

Agreed. It's murder, and I for one would not choose any doctor who would agree to "assist" in a "suicide".
