I think that’s the most reasonable policy, and a no assisted suicide under any conditions policy is purely religiously founded

Can you name anything in morality that isn't religiously founded?

" Can you name anything in morality that isn't religiously founded? "

There’s a 50 year old philosophy called Objectivism in which such a morality is at its foundation. In short a universal morality is extrapolated by observation and reason with man’s happiness as a rational being as its highest ideal. There are a few imperfections in Objectivism as with all religions, but probably not the ones you’d imagine. Most good Christians read up on in for about 10 minutes and label it with any of a half dozen failings that are common to other atheistic philosophies that would clearly not apply to Objectivism if it were read more carefully.
