He basically can't accept his disability.

I think this is a terrible way to say that he's made a choice not to live with it. You're framing it as an inability to cope. Choosing death is coping.

I think this is a terrible way to say that he’s made a choice not to live with it.

Can't live with it, or unwilling to? There's a difference, and it sounds like chose the latter (in his interview).

I support MAID, and don't judge this man at all for choosing it; I'm glad the option to end his suffering was made available.

But this story goes beyond a pressure sore. Even though the focus of the article makes it seem like a pressure sore drove someone to literally pick death. I'm saying that his mind was already made up well before this happened.
