> Death on command

Precisely nobody is proposing "Death on command". From the article:

> ...the person must:

> - suffer a "serious or incurable illness" or a "chronic or incapacitating" condition that causes "intolerable suffering"

> - be an adult Spanish national or a legal resident

> - be "fully aware and conscious" when they make the request, which has to be submitted twice in writing, 15 days apart

> A doctor can reject the request if the requirements have not been met. It must be approved by a second medic and by an evaluation body.

> Any medic can withdraw on grounds of "conscience" from taking part in the procedure.
