I see a difference in that kind of departure and asking someone to give you a treatment that you can use to cause death.

What is the difference between your tribal elder being bid farewell as he leaves for his cave and someone being provided a prescription for a fatal dose of something painless? The first is OK but the second isn't? In both cases the parties are facilitating the suicide. Yes, the latter is somewhat more deliberate than the former, but both give society's stamp of approval on the suicide. From a compassion perspective, dying from a bunch of pills sure beats starving to death in a cave.
