When absolutely forbidden, it sentences some to horrible, cruel and inhumane pain and suffering; but when the laws allowing it are too wide, allowing people to kill themselves or even having doctors do it for them for reasons that are not eminent death, there are a whole lot of very difficult problems opened up.
