Proposed euthanasia legalisation in nsw australia the end of terminal suffering and pain. Is it supported by the buddhist suttas?

Here’s a discussion with Ven. Sujato on blamelessness Self-immolation is not an authentic Buddhist practice - #10 by sujato

My understanding is that there was no 3 poisons involved in the act, so not even “neutral” kamma is involved. If my memory serves me right, neutral kamma is still conditioned/caused by ignorance.
