Answer: Feeling weak, tired and uncomfortable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Pearlman and Helene Starks´ "Why Do People Seek Physician-Assisted Death?" states the results of their research about the reasons patients provide for seeking a hastened death.

Having found nine common motivating factors, the most commonly mentioned was feeling weak, tired, and uncomfortable (69%), although interest in assisted death tends to present the interaction of multiple factors.
