Attitudes shift over time anyway and it's not too much of stretch to think that mincing words on this subject could eventually lead to a societal shift that encourages physician assisted suicide rather than burdening the family or, broader, society via public health care with the ugliness and financial burden of your death.
So I guess the question is... is this really a bad thing?
I say no.
I think that everyone should have a right to die on their own terms if they choose, or fight until the end if they choose.

The bad part would come when the attitude swings the other way. Someone who chooses to take the long road is considered selfish, undignified, and cowardly because they put their fair and society through the burden of their death.
