It's a morbid thought but euthanasia approval seems like it could often be a slow drawn out process, and someone able-bodied wouldn't necessarily need it.

This is mentioned in the article. She chose euthanasia because someone she knew growing up committed suicide and she saw how it devastated the family.

Also I imagine the anxiety about messing up without professional expertise would be awful. Plus worrying about legal repercussions for any assistance. Etc. etc.

Again, no, it's assisted death. Quite different.
