You're not hijacking by taking part.

And I am totally in favour of people having a right to die. I just worry about it going from "This person hasn't got long to live, their quality of life is terrible, and there's nothing we can do to help them, so it's okay to relieve their suffering." to "This person has a shitty life, society isn't going to even try and help them, we'll just tell them to kill themselves."

And I've had examples of the latter over on the Facebook page, which worries me a great deal.
