Why should options be held back? I'd want to know all options available to me for whatever my scenario is rather than being treated like a child who can't decide for themselves. When I ask for help I want all reasonable possibilities presented because I'm not going to think of everything.

In a general situation, yeah sure that makes sense. But this is Death. It's always an option, everyone knows it's an option, and sometimes it's an easier option. Leaving it to the person to suggest makes it the last resort, and ensures all other options have been exhausted.

Have you seen some of the videos coming out of Canada, where "doctors" who are more or less agents of the state have presented that not as an option, but the best option.

For example there was one person that was trying to get In-Home nursing, which my understanding was an option but the "doctor" kept pushing suicide as the better choice, this person clearly did not want to die, but it was being pushed as the first option for them.

The perverse incentives of state run healthcare combined with a suicide option opens up all manner of abuse, and unintended results.
