You're actually straight wrong here. This is about terminal illness not disabilities.

Having less than 6 months to live is a requirement.

Calm yourself down and take your own advice and read it.

And before you lash out about me not understanding I have Crohn's disease and type 1 diabetes. I am disabled and it affects my quality of life greatly.

I'm not sure if you've had to endure the torture that is watching someone die a slow and painful death but there is no dignity in it, only suffering. Allowing people to avoid 6 months of that is not a bad thing if they want to avoid it.
