It seems like a good idea, but I would be concerned with the incapacitated person and greedy, graspy relatives looking to get the proceeds of the estate or life insurance policy. I think to legalize it just gives those evil persons a possible legal route to obtain proceeds by ill means. If the person can kill himself - there is no legal penalty - no way to punish this "breach" of the law. Also, the aforesaid life insurance companies would want to exclude this method of death from coverage - which may cause som problems with surviving spouses who may have already spent their last dollars on the person's medical care.
