Disagree. It should be a considered decision over time.
1) Is the patient of sound mind when the decision is made? (Not necessarily carried out. I have no problem with someone saying "kill me when my mind is gone.")
2) There should be a medical evaluation of whatever the problem is with an eye to what can be done to make life more palatable.
3) There should be a waiting period. (I would, however, say that if the person is no longer capable of confirming it that should count as confirmation.)
Suicide should only be for when one's remaining life is of negative value, not because of temporary bad things.
