Way too many issues here with consent for me to support it.
Whose consent? Assisted suicide implies that the person dying has consented to it. It's not the same as pulling the plug on a coma patient - this is a situation where the person in question is lucid and can indicate intent.
Sure, but we are living in the real world. To cite the Netherlands, plenty of people wind up being euthanized without their consent.

1) Patients being euthanized when they could not possibly consent
2) Euthanasia regulations not being followed completely 41%
3) Infants being euthanized
Would you feel more comfortable about torture in America if Britain did it with strict regulations
that were followed less than half the time with the odd tortured baby making it's way in there?
Euthanasia is a classic example of DC's law of unintended yet completely foreseeable consequences. Despite claims that assisted suicide will never lead to involuntary euthanasia, it appears that proper procedure is the exception, not the rule.
