This doesn't seem to be an example of assisted suicide being recommended to disabled people who didn't want to die. Mainstream medical practice at the time condemned Kevorkian, and anyone seeking out his services was certainly aware that what he offered was death.
Society puts a lot of pressure on the people at the bottom. The chronically ill and the unemployed. That pressure in combination with an option to permanently relive yourself of that pressure is to many functionally equivalent to a recommendation.
