I agree this isn't directly equivalent to someone jumping from a bridge.

You also said "The guidelines around assisted suicide are extremely strict", and the specifics of this case are contentious enough that we're having some serious discussion around it.

I think continued debate here is healthy in a compassionate society that wants assisted suicide policies that are appropriate and not overly applied. I can't say if that's the case here (I just don't know enough), but this comes very close to ringing some alarm bells.
