Someone living with an incurable, treatment resistant, severe mental illness causing extreme long-term suffering.

Someone living with brain damage that has left their pain centre of their brain fully active, constantly.

Someone suffering from full body paralysis (locked-in) with no prospect of any recovery, unable to even blink their own eyelids requiring a level of care they are almost guaranteed not to receive.

The list goes on.
