a determined person can easily kill himself

That's not the case. Most people who would take advantage of this are old and/or feeble. You either put a gun to your head when you're still healthy enough to do it, or you wait and give up the option. If the only option is guns and bullets, lots of people either die prematurely or suffer needlessly. And Neo, sometime the most important part of an option like Oregon's is just the peace of mind you get from knowing the option is there, not from taking advantage of it. Very few Oregonians have actually killed themselves.
