You do not get it. Senior would be the one who buys a gun, and who pulls the trigger. I have no problem to help someone to dispatch themselfs, but I would not risk my neck in process.

This charade with dry fast is way more risky for care giver. Takes several days and person would be passed out for a long time. It is like hodling your breath to die...

Okay, think there was some misunderstanding. I was thinking of the situation where the person is so chronically ill that they cannot do any of those things. They either need someone's help, thereby making them break the law, or they take the only other option to end their lives which is to stop eating or drinking.
