If you read up on him, the problem is not that he advocated one's right to die. The problem is that he repeatedly violated his own stated procedures for doing doctor-assisted suicide in an ethical manner. Not all of his patients were terminal, few were evaluated by a psychiatrist, many had chronic pain, but were not first referred to a pain specialist, etc.
