People must not die like this

Angelique Flowers was a 31-year-old writer who died in horrible circumstances.  Angelique Flowers' YouTube video provides a moving story, and a compelling case for why deaths like hers must not be allowed to occur again. If we are a civilised, rational and ethical society, (voluntary) euthanasia must be permitted. Politicians need to bring about legislative change. Euthanasia is a rational and humane cause provides a strong case.

Christian Rossiter was a quadriplegic man who successfully sought the right to die, but unfortunately it was without dignity. Rather than being permitted to take a drug to end his life, he was given the right to refuse food. He would have died through starvation (he actually died as a result of an infection). That society permits dying from starvation, even if sedated, is a macabre state of affairs. If death is permitted, would not a drug be preferable if that was consistent with Mr Rossiter's wishes?
