"assisted suicide only costs the taxpayer $2,327 per ‘case’."

That seems absurdly expensive.

I have family in medicine in the US. They have seen other doctors basically over medicate people until they slowly slip away in the name of "compassionate care". They don't trust have little trust in the system and recommend against DNR/living will other than to name a trusted family member to make medical decisions for you. My wife's grandmother had a stoke and a living will. She was showing signs of getting better after the stoke but that quickly turned downhill since they weren't feeding her since she wasn't passing the swallow test and the living will didn't allow for a feeding tube. And of course the doctors had her pretty drugged up too, so she wasn't coherent.
