Assisted suicide is not about looking for death, it's about minimising pain and humiliation.
Death is just a mean to that end - specifically, the only remaining mean. You don't have to like death to decide that it's the only way you're going to leave that hospital bed.
Ah, so it's a non-optimal solution that just so happens to be the best of the crappy options available. Thanks.
Well, being "the best of the crappy options available" is what makes something optimal :P
