So would this negate a life insurance policy? Additionally, could you negotiate with your health insurance provider (or government entity if it's socialized)? For example, if you're expected to live for another 2 years but need all kinds of health care (drugs, in-home assistance, hospitalization, etc.) that would be covered, could you negotiate with your insurer and agree to an assisted suicide if they pay your family 75% of the expected cost for you to stay alive?

You're thinking like a lawyer. I'm so sorry.
