Safeguards to reduce the chance of people being pressured and impulsive decisions yes, but bodies can become prisons and every moment waking hell. People need the right to die on their own terms.
Correct. This is why it should be done by medical professionals.
Also this is not physician assisted, you press a button and the chamber fills with nitrogen.
Correct. This is the core of my objection: being able to hit the "press (x) to instantly die" button is fucked up. There needs to be guardrails. As you mentioned!
Medical professionals routinely torture people. They are not fit to decide whether people should be forced to live. Look at the history of medicine, women's pain routinely discounted, racist notions like black people feeling less pain or ignoring differences in responses to drugs, hideous experimentation on people. Remember lobotomies?
What is wrong with someone deciding to die? The only person fit to decide whether they want to live or not is the person who has to deal with the consequences of that decision. Medical professionals have a role in giving advice on likely outcomes, interpreting test results, and diagnosis. That's it.
