Wait, so a person who would commit suicide with their own hand but is physically incapable of doing thus loses the right to suicide? What if the person, in their choice to die, refuses to eat but the doctors hook them up to an intravenous feeding mechanism? The doctor would be assisting the suicide if the doctor respected the patient's choice not to eat. The mechanism is forced life in this instance.
Also I'm not going to address a slippery slope argument. I'm concern with it out of principle. Agree with the principle or not, application is another matter.
