It's not that easily accessible.

It's accessible in that you don't need to be terminally ill or get your doctor's permission. If you want Dignitas to kill you, they will.
It's very different in Belgium for non-terminal patients, quoting Pieter:

"I am, finally, so glad I never quit Belgium. This country allows for death on demand, for patients who are terminal or have a bad enough quality of life. *It takes three doctors and a psychiatrist, in the second case, and four weeks' waiting period.* In the first case, it takes one doctor's opinion."
