Law in Focus is a collection of short videos featuring academics from the University of Cambridge Faculty of Law, addressing legal issues in current affairs and the news. These issues are examples of the many which challenge researchers and students studying undergraduate and postgraduate law at the Faculty.
Anyone interested in this topic might also wish to refer to a talk by Paul Bowen QC, who addressed the the Cambridge University Law Society on the subject of "The Last Human Right, or its Antithesis? Assisted Suicide, Euthanasia, the Right to Life and the Right to Choose the Timing and Manner of Death" in January 2013. Mr Bowen acted for Debbie Purdy in her successful challenge to the DPP's policy on assisted suicide prosecutions in 2008.

euthanasia is choice of living by ending its suffering. I'd rather to have a choice to die in my own style than suffocate till the death comes.

Tl;dl but as long as i heard we can choose how we die but we cannot choose (or tell someone) when

If you look closely at this situation, you will find it's not a "right to die" issue. It's a "right to commit murder" issue. And if you look at the people behind that movement, it will raise the hair on the back of your head.
Your need to murder does not take precedence over someone else's life. Period. AND you furthermore have no right to wheedle someone into such an agreement or suicide. There is a word for people who pull such stunts. That word is "murderer".
And you might want to look in the mirror. Not one of you advocates are what anyone would say is "pleasing". There is something psychological going on with you people and your antics have to stop.
