Not disagreeing with what you said, but just offering the other side.
You apparently overlooked the "peace and dignity" part of my post.

I'm well aware that there are myriad ways for a terminally ill person to kill him or herself.

Pardon the snark, I know you're not being a jerk, but there's a huge difference between helping someone painlessly and peacefully medicate themself to death and asking someone to blow their head off because of their illness. It wouldn't seem exactly proper to invite your family over to spend your last moments with you that way.
