The slippery slope argument is a cop out. Surely there is a humane sweet spot between government either forcing people to endure unholy agony and a complete loss of dignity in their senescence and being an accomplice in the suicide of the mentally ill.
What is humane about killing an alcoholic? Lots of alcoholics stumble through life without killing themselves or others.
And if alcoholics, who else, folks with cleft palates, poor work histories, prisoners, bad students, the unattractive, the too fat , the too skinny...?
You think people lose their dignity. I don't. I recall, for example, Justice Clarence Thomas saying that dignity is intrinsic[, regardless of the undignified ways in which we may be treated].

You misunderstood my post. I'm not in favor of assisted suicide for alcoholics.
