This is really a difficult and emotive subject, and does need to have the most safeguards in place. Now what said safeguards are, I’ll leave up too others.
There are no possible safeguards against the internalised sense of obligation that would inevitably cause some people to end their lives having decided they don’t want to be a burden. The argument has always been that people have rights to make choices, with far too little attention given to the consequences of people’s choices on other people and society at large.
