There's no tension between legalised assisted dying and suicide rescue - and the organ harvesting canard is utterly baseless.
(On this note, incidentally, the law in Belgium allows euthanasia, but not assisted suicide: that is, there are circumstances in which it's legal to kill someone, but not to provide the means for them to kill themselves. This is because they have a good samaritan law - and to provide the means to commit suicide is incompatible with the duty to attempt to rescue someone whose life is in danger. I think. That's how someone explained it to me. It's odd, I'll admit.)

even if it's the opposite end of the slippery wedge we are currently trying to grasp by the horns at the moment.
