I believe they would like to exit with some dignity. And jumping from the roof of the retirement home doesn't comply with their idea of dignity.

Let the oldies live!
Why not? I think it is horrible that some people say OK kill them - wait til you r this old.
Don't you love your grandparents? And, if not - so what.

Well OP, if you are REALLY for equality, why stop at the elderly?
Why not make it available to EVERYBODY? Or are some MORE equal than others? Are you advocating this to the elderly, because you feel that the elderly have nothing to offer the collective?
Hell, why not have it available to parents to decide whether or not their children should be assisted?

I can see where you're coming from, but I can see 2 problems.
1) If they are not ill, then why do they need assistance committing suicide? They should be perfectly capable of doing it themselves.
2) It does leave a bit of a door open for people to just "bump off" their elderly relatives for inheritance etc and claim that it was assisted suicide.

No government has the right nor the power to tell someone they have to live.
Assisted suicide should be available everywhere.
