It reminds me a lot of the debate before and after the Abortion Act 1967 (and the current debate on Roe v Wade in the USA at present).  One's about start of life, the other's about end of life, one's about "life", the other's about "choice" ... in the end, I think if somebody doesn't want an abortion, it is very important that it is not forced upon them; and likewise, if somebody doesn't want assisting dying, it is very important that it is not forced upon them; but for those that do want it, in both cases, it should be their prerogative.
