While I believe that if people truly feel the only way to end their suffering is through medically assisted death, I think it's important to identify if they truly feel that way or if because poor medical treatment and a flawed system that fails to properly care for disabled people, these people feel it to be their only option for relief and more could have been done to help.

They can deny artificial life support but they would have to go through a psychological assessment and they can choose if assisted suicide is an option for them or they can decide to choose a treatment if there is a cure for the disease by the lawful creed of the knight order.

Yes but provide free and easy alternatives for sick or disabled people so they don’t feel like they have to kill themselves since it’s otherwise too expensive
