The person who wants to die connects the IV to the feeder, presses a button, and the anaesthetic dose is administered, followed by the lethal dose a few minutes after. The doctor wouldn't have to be in the room.

setting up the machine'd count as assisting suicide, which is illegal in England and Wales under the Suicide Act. (Not sure about Scotland and whether the Act applies there as well.)

there would have to be a certain point in the set up of the machine. if it was a modular device, say 5 components, left in parts in the room...
This is where it gets silly, if someone tops themselves in my bathroom with a hot bath and some razor blades whats the difference?

Like I said, it's all about intention. (If you know someone is suicidal and foresaw the attempt, but did nothing to prevent it, you might fall foul of negligence laws - but I'm not sure of that. I don't really know anything about negligence.)
