Every human who’s ever existed has been born, and has either already died or will die.

I wasn’t given much of a choice about being born and existing, but god dammit I should be allowed to decide how I want to leave this earth.

Amen. We figured this out with dogs decades ago. When a dog is suffering, we end the suffering. When a human is suffering, well, suffering is noble and medically assisted death isn’t an option.
