I've mentioned before that there was a point in my life where I was on an extremely high dose of morphine while hospitalized. The morphine was (obviously) for an extreme amount of pain that I was in. During that period, the doctors didn't think there would be much of a chance of survival. During that point, when I knew I was going to die in a horribly drawn out and painful manner, the thought of suicide did enter my mind. Luckily, I didn't want to act on it. Before and after, I didn't want to do it, but the thought during that time was there.
After all of that, I still agree with the idea of assisted suicide. I know what it's like to sit in pain, knowing that my last moments would only be pain. I didn't like that thought much even though I would never had acted on it, even given the opportunity.
