The problem is it's not a simple thing.
It's easy to make up scenarios where you're mentally capable enough to decide for yourself. But after the first time it's allowed, in say a situation like this one, or after a few situations like this, when it becomes normal, and accepted, and people are used to it, that's when the checks and balances start to slide and people start coming up with new reasons for people to die, and it's no longer necessarily the person who is 'ill' who is deciding. Or even necessary to be ill, to "die" (be killed).
Already someone in this thread has mentioned being a burden on the taxpayer as a factor in whether someone should be "allowed to die" (be killed).
