Just that. It is an individuals right to choose to exit this life as & when they choose! Period. Full stop!

This.
It's our life and our death. It's a human right.

There should be this option, and it should be safe and legal.

Let me turn it round. If a decision does not affect you directly what right have you, or any of us, to make choices for another human being? I apply this rule to all repressive legislation. ?

It's your life! So why not? I understand there could be mitigating circumstances i.e. mental issues. But in the case of incurable disease (including mental) an Advance Directive should overrule any challenges.

My dad wanted it so badly but couldn’t because he had Alzheimer’s and didn’t pass the psychological criteria. This was his lifelong belief but was denied it.

That's bad. It's a catch 22 situation.
The same thing happened with my dad.

As long as we're separating correctable vs terminal diagnoses, I'm all for allowing terminal patients the right to choose when and how they end their life.

No one should be forced to suffer because of someone else’s fairytale

That’s a great question. It depends on wether it is a retorical question, or if you are talking about the ability to let go of a loved one when their time comes to say goodbye and bow out of the stage.
When she decided to die, my mother accused me of being a hypocrite. She said that, for years she had heard me and my siblings talk about the right to die and all of a sudden we were denying her her right. She was so eloquent, I had no voice but to concede and give her my unconditional love and respect her decision.
It took one of my brothers several years to forgive me.

I think you’re brave.
If a person wants to die for any number of reasons, they have the right to either terminate their own lives or let a physician do it for them.
