How ethical is withholding an end to incurable suffering?

It's perfectly ethical.

No one should feel an ethical responsibility to kill anyone else.

There's plenty of way people can kil themselves without help.

Of course, if it's legal and there's people that want to do it, then so be it, but that's not an ethics issue and there's no need to turn into into one

Euthanasia does not impose an ethical responsibility to kill someone else. If there are people who are willing to assist in helping someone else to die, but the government withholds it (likely at the behest of religious medievalists), then that is an egregiously unethical state of affairs.
