Seems selfish to me, to insist someone keep suffering on your behalf, even going so far as to try and legally block them from recieving final care that would make their passing comfortable and peaceful as it can be.
I say this as someone who had a family member who suffered from severe ADHD and attempted to take his life several times. In the end he shot himself in the face in front of his wife and their infant daughter.
He was going to do it, no amount of support from us was going to change that. The only difference is, he might've had a way to go that was more humane, less violent and traumatizing if we lived in a society that respected his right to do so.
I still remember when the US left and there was a massive propaganda campaign across social media trying to talk about how the Taliban had changed "ThEy hAvE cElLpHoNeS nOw! So MoDeRn!" and that Afghanistan was going to be better off...
I think the significance is that it serves as a signal to other countries that sanctioning or suspending things like trade and aid to Israel are more of a possibility now that the US has kind of stepped out of the way symbolically.
Israel is bevoming increasingly isolated, and the inevitable outcome is that at some point the US is basically hoing to cut the line rather than go down with Israel. Even though it might not be under this administration, the spell around Israel's untouchable status is cracking.
