Until the same culture-of-death libs make guns illegal, you can go to a store, pick up a piece, and make your own do-it-yourself euthanasia machine. No state sanction required.
Until socialized medicine is put in place by the same culture-of-death libs, you can get the required meds from your local pharmacy (with scripts from one cooperative or 3-4 uncooperative physicians). No state sanction required.
Or you can commit police-assisted suicide. Or you can drive your car off a cliff. Or you can go to Home Depot and pick up a rope. No state sanction required.
Problem with state sanctioned suicide is not that you commit suicide. That's between you and your god (lower case intentional). Problem is that there will be a cultural shift that will eventually make it seem like the "responsible" thing to do (for your heirs, for the insurance company, or for the State).

I agree that there is a dark history involved in state-sanctioned suicide, so it’s imperative to avoid it. That’s why I would really only condone non-physician / non-state suicide assistance.
You go to a privately run organization and request a simple machine that will induce a lethal injection. You do it all by yourself. Maybe a doctor’s written opinion is required to state that you actually have a terminal illness— but that would be the extent of the doctor’s involvement, and I’m not even sure THAT should be necessary.
This is for all the folks out there who don’t want to have a “messy” death. I think it’s sensible.
