It isn't awesome that her life is so miserable that, even though she has spent decades exhausting all medical treatment options, she still wants to die. What is awesome is that there is a comprehensive and humane way for her to end her suffering that assures this isn't a rash decision, gives her loved ones a time frame to come to terms with it, and provides a situation where they do not have to deal with the aftermath of doing it herself.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there who's lives are nothing but pain and suffering. Pain and suffering despite seeking out all possible means to relieve themselves of this pain, and finding that none exist. Pain that isn't going to end, and not having a life worth living to look forward to. There are also a lot of people out there that have loved these people and realized that, though it hurts them, the suffering the person they love is going through is far worse, and will not get better. Sometimes it is more selfish to demand someone not end their life than it is for them to do so.
You clearly have not actually been in this position, even if you have been suicidal before. Maybe you should admit that you don't know everything about this, and let people have a humane way to stop their suffering.
I will never in a million years be convinced that "suicide is awesome" is a position that I should adopt or respect, sorry not sorry.
You still don't get it, they saying aren't suicide is awesome. So you continue on with your misinterpretation.
Clearly you don't put nuance into it, and don't care to. Enjoy (or hate) your black and white life.
