It is said that life is suffering. While not everyone is suffering in this moment, most people will face suffering at some point in their life. At the very least, a large percentage of us will approach old age and diseases that bring about suffering towards the latter stages of life. To compound the problem, the fear of death only propels people to find way to prolongs life and by extension prolonging suffering.
Since most of us have the ability to end our lives and by extension end our suffering, we also have two choices: choose to die and choose to end suffering, or choose to live and choose to suffer. We are, at the very least, since most people will not choose suicide, a masochistic species that chooses to suffer. And keeping someone alive is sadistic in that the choice to keep another alive is to keep them in suffering.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
A common opinion si that the only reason why euthenasia/suicide is still illegal is that some religions declare it to be a sin therefore, in order to legalise it, the government/swould have to face down overwhleming religious opposition.
What if, instead of hearing someone speak about the daily pain of migraines, we could see a vice being tightened on their head each and every day. Would the visual aid us in wanting to see an end to suffering.
Suffering; (interpretation; I have what I don't want, or, I don't have what I want)

People who fear death usually do to others what they would want done to them.
I agree with you that it should be legalised.
