I am really torn on this issue.
For me there would have to be extremely rigid criteria for this with absolutely accountable and firm checks to ensure this is done EVERY TIME to the full criteria.

I'm thinking the possibility of an elderly person, who is diabetic, has other health issues so on lots of medications.
Thereby a strong cost of same to the State

Perhaps no relatives around as such.
However is terminally ill.
I'm not sure in that case, if assisted dying was legal, could that person be then 'encouraged' to agree to have their life terminated.
For more economic reasons and not just personal ones.
Someone elderly made to feel a burden, could come to agree to have their life ended.

For me, just one of that scenario would be too many .
I'm not sure I could feel I could trust the system to ensure that was completely impossible.
