Does it only refer to being good for the person who dies? Is it possible that the word, since it means a good death, is the problem that society comes to see death as a good. For example, if society does not want to pay for complex healthcare for people, what is actually bad is presented as being good. Is there a contradiction in Dr. McKeown O'Donovan's argument that if she says we should allow this where the State or some external party forms the view that things will not get better, and that in those circumstances, for example, where a terminal illness is involved, we give way to people's autonomy. Why would we not give way to people's autonomy where they form the view that things will not get better? This is the fear people have. How do we prevent suicide? In cases of suicide, there are people who feel things will not get better.
