I don't see it so much as 'assisted dying' as the removal of 'artificially extending life.'
I made certain to mention dementia in my Power of Attorney. Precisely so that no bugger can claim I'm being coerced into requesting death at a later date.
Society is in complete denial about the elderly and infirm being a massive burden on society. The elderly have a higher voter turnout...
but it's my generation that hold most of the housing stock, get a pension that is guaranteed to increase each year, and take up a very large chunk of the NHS budget, etc.
If we allow more people to die when their time comes, then we free up a whole load of money for the government to spend on education, free school meals, etc.
