Great OP, very detailed and comprehensive.
I had never heard of this website before. Seeing detailed instructions on how to kill yourself is sobering, to say the least.
After thinking about it for a bit, it makes sense. People should have the right to die painlessly and with dignity, should they want to. Keeping this information from people leads them to more dangerous methods, or even putting others in danger.
Sanctioned Suicide isn't actively promoting these methods to random people who are struggling unlike my doctor. They're just putting the information out there for anyone who is looking for it. I don't see anything wrong with that.
The fact that there's no way to control if a minor stumbles upon it is an issue, though. I think that applies to every corner of the Internet, so I don't know why parents are suddenly up in arms about this and not porn, gore, etc.

I might be biased in this opinion, since I will qualify for MAID in March. My doctor even suggested this to me. I am suffering, but that doesn't mean I should just let the government fucking kill me. Whatever happened to at least trying to live?
