These doctors can’t be trusted to treat patients with Haldol. I certainly don’t trust them to properly administer euthanasia.

If they are fabricating schizophrenia dx, then they would also likely to fabricate medical cause for euthanasia.

One option might be to not require a medical cause for assisted suicide. Instead it could be something that people have an absolute right to do for any reason or none, though I do not think most societies would be comfortable with that. Perhaps heavy due process similar to that required in many jurisdictions for a woman wanting to carry out an abortion could be required.
