That's why the process, according to Portuguese law, involves several people. The decision is never made by just one or two doctors.
Now, let's see things from the other point of view.
Imagine someone with a disease that will make them an invalid, living with pain, when they are around 50 years old. Average life expectancy will give them an average of 20 or 30 years of living in pain, only expecting death. Why shouldn't that person decided when enough is enough?
Now, if that person decides to end their life, they will do it from an unexperienced (obviously) point of view, as they do not know exactly what to do to reach the desired result (death) without further suffering.
There are many cases of people that tried to kill themselves only to fail and remain alive in an even worse condition than they were before.
Shouldn't those people have professional help for what is a health problem?
A lot people every year decide to suicide , and do it. We are talking here creating or institutionalizing whole A to B solution involving other people , that`s something i dont see right.
Who gives these " professionals" the right to do anything ? is it because they have medical degree ? I dont think anyone really have right to intervene when it comes to ending someone elses life . It`s divine entity who can decide or by itself .
I see the medical professionals something really low , well lets not get in to that ...
