My country in Western Europe did have to legalize Euthanasia because the government was sued by an organization which supports access to euthanasia.
The supreme court then did decide that the law that criminalize any support or assistance to suicide (passive or active) is against the self determination of humans, which is part of my country's constitution. So that law was nullified, but the government made a law that you have to go through a lengthy procedure that involves at least 3 doctors and a notary person to get a prescription to buy N from the pharmacy.
In practice though what I have read in newspapers is that many terminally ill (and near the death) people did not find any doctor that would do that process for them. Only few had luck to find after a long search around the country doctors who would that process.

So it still bad and similar to the Swiss solution. Which makes the ability to suicide a decision of doctors.
The organization that I mentioned above is now in the process again to sue the government about this very restrictive law.
I don't think this will change really anything.

There was some small hope where I would feel respected as a human by my society. But still I was let down.
I wish someone would support me :(
I was disappointed that famous organization that offers information about euthanasia still uses that as a business and behaves paternalistic like any medical doctor. It was also distasteful to make Black Friday sale for their products??? What the heck??

It's not even legalised at all where I live, to me it's just so inhumane how there is still a lack of acceptance towards the right to die, people shouldn't be expected to suffer endlessly against their wishes until they die anyway.
