As for a right to die law impacting on others for those wanting to die it already does impact others knowing your loved one wants to die and knowing they may bodge it is a huge weight on others. There are many people suffering from incurable illness that have no way to end their suffering with dignity and certainty and will resort to extreme measures that doesn't always work and that's very damaging for loved one's also.

Life without a half decent quality of life shouldn't be prolonged for the benefit of those with sensibilities and reservations. Can it really be that hard to devise a system that allows suffering to be ended without blatant abuse.
Correct. It just needs to be thought through. People who are against the idea are just dredging everything they can muster to rubbish the idea, but frankly, people should not have to suffer, and the do-gooders of this world need to get a grip and contemplate for a moment the unnecessary suffering they are causing by standing firmly against the idea.
