If people have a right to die, by refusing to get vaccinated, then why is it not a right to die with dignity?

Well, bringing up Dr. Kevorkian has a tendancy to cast the point in a negative light. But...
I am and have always been in favor of making doctor assisted suicide/euthanasia legal.
I have issues with someone I don't know making what is the most important decision (IMHO) in a persons life. I should have the right to decide when and how I want to die. That so many people feel they have a right to push their end of life beliefs onto me is very annoying.
If you take religion out of the discussion, then it is hard to come up with any reason other people should have any say in my decisions around my death.
And if you include religion, then dying and going to live on golden streets and with virgins feeding you grapes while heavenly choirs sing in the background would seem to be somewhat appealing, yet, they are fight to the bitter end to resist that.
If you want to be hooked up to machines and feed via an IV and not able to talk because a machine is breathing for you, and to stay that way potentially for years. Have fun, I am not interested.
