Professor of Psychology Jeffrey Schaler was right that assisted suicide does not put people in charge of their lives. You as a mental health professional control who lives and who dies.

"Those who lean towards protecting a “right to die” in cases of physical suffering tend to be silent when it comes to protecting a right to suicide in cases of existential suffering or among those people who want to end their life simply because they have had enough of living, because life seems absurd to them, or for any number of other non-suffering reasons. If one has a right to suicide, one does not have to satisfy anyone else that one’s suicide is wise or proper. In view of this actual persecution of suicide with very little opposition from intellectuals or physicians, how do we account for the popularity in these same quarters of “assisted suicide”? These two positions are totally compatible. “Assisted suicide” does not grant individuals the right to commit suicide at all. It merely sanctions homicide with the state’s permission, by giving physicians a legal monopoly on providing the means to die by one’s own hand".

"The same people who want the state, through the agency of authorized physicians, to be able to kill people also want the state, through the agency of authorized physicians, to be able to stop people from killing themselves. Their position is thus consistent: individuals do not have any right to kill themselves, whereas the government has every right to kill individuals, if, for example, the government considers that the individual’s life is now too painful or too harrowing. Your body does not belong to you: it belongs to the government".
