You're talking to someone whose wife died 4 months ago (at 34 years old), from one of those incurable conditions. I'll let you guess how I feel about allowing people to end their life on their terms.

I'm confident you strongly support allowing it as I have never met someone who witnessed a loved one suffer like that and does not support lessening their suffering.

So since you support allowing people to end their own lives in that context, you understand that people can indeed consent to death. So perhaps consenting to death should be permitted in other contexts too. That's the only point I was making.
