It looks like Oregon's requirements are that the patient be 18+, diagnosed terminal with six months, and able to communicate themselves that this is what they want. I've seen other states that must have two doctors sign off on the decision. I feel like no one deserves to suffer and if they want out, we should give them a dignified and painless way to do so, and guidelines like these are a good start.

Absolutely. By denying this right is to deny ourselves and the ones we love the least amount of suffering at the end of life.
