Bit like making sure the concentration camp workers are kept safe, really. Wouldn't want them catching something from the people they kill.
No one is killing these people ... the people are choosing to not go on with their lives because living, for them, is suffering and is far worse than the alternative. Or would you prefer to make your loved ones suffer so that you could see them for an extra day, week, month?
If all of the criteria are met and all of the questions have been answered, if the
member has been repeatedly informed that he or she is free to return home permanently or temporarily and if the member still expresses a wish to end his or her life, and if the lethal medication is to be administered through the stomach, the medication to prevent vomiting can be given.
Thirty minutes later, the member is questioned once again to see whether he or she still want to end life. If they do, the prescribed dose of NaP is dissolved in normal tap water and presented to the member in whatever form is necessary for the planned method of administration.
When the medication is being administered, assistance is permitted as long as it does not in any way lead to someone else administering the medication. For instance, holding a glass containing a straw is allowed, but tipping the glass so that the liquid runs into the mouth is not. Careful attention is paid so that the «power/control over the action» always remains with the member and is in no way transferred to either of the DIGNITAS assistants or any other person present. Directly after the medication has been swallowed, the member – as described previously – is offered either a sweetened beverage or chocolate to remove the unpleasant taste left in the mouth.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
I happen to be of the opinion that keeping someone alive, despite them having appalling quality of life, is grossly inhumane. Life at any cost is not life. You would be locked up if you kept your pet dog on life support, pumping it full of morphine every time it whimpers but doing that for a human is actively encouraged.
I think being able to die with dignity at a time of your choosing should be a fundamental right. It's not a mental illness, it's about having control over your final days.

Feck that, a glass ( or 2 if lingering!) of Brunello di Montalcino and nothing else!!!!!
But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger
