First and foremost, yes, Dumbledore did ask Snape to kill him, and this was to save Draco Malfoy from having to carry out the sinister task.
I am concerned less for myself than for accidental victims of whatever schemes might occur to the boy. Dumbledore knew he was dying because he had already found the Marvolo ring that brings back people from the dead, and like most mortals, he could not resist using it on himself.
However, the curse of the ring was killing him slowly. Not wanting to suffer any longer, Snape, in essence, put Dumbledore out of his misery while saving Malfoy along the way. Well, Voldermort was still growing in strength and was taking over. This would have solidly put him as an evil figure in the magical world. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. The rationale being that Albus wanted Snape to kill him, to save Malfoy.
As Snape was killed where Malfoy would have been. Is there any canon evidence that Albus directed Snape to take his life in order to preserve Malfoy?
I am concerned less for myself than for accidental victims of whatever schemes might occur to the boy. You must kill me. I confess I should prefer a quick, painless exit to the protracted and messy affair it will be if, for instance, Greyback is involved — I hear Voldemort has recruited him?
Or dear Bellatrix, who likes to play with her food before she eats it. Dumbledore had intended Snape would get it. Ultimately, of course, there is only one thing to be done if we are to save him from Lord Voldemort's wrath. Snape raised his eyebrows and his tone was sardonic as he asked, "Are you intending to let him kill you? Thus, we see that Dumbledore was worried that Voldemort would kill Malfoy, if Dumbledore was not killed, but Dumbledore also wanted to protect Malfoy's soul. He was able to save both Malfoy's life and soul by having Snape kill him instead.

Severely weakened and feeling incredibly thirsty, Harry tried casting the Water-Making Spell in the goblet, to no avail.
Soon realised that Voldemort had made it so, Harry filled the goblet with water from the cave. The Inferi came and attacked, with Harry holding them back with various offensive spells.
Dumbledore recovered and intervened by summoning a Firestorm , which repelled the Inferi. Madam Rosmerta alerted them that the Dark Mark had been cast over Hogwarts, and they immediately flew back after she supplied them with broomsticks. Dumbledore was greatly weakened by a potion he was forced to drink, during their adventure.
He and Harry Apparated back to Hogsmeade afterwards. Once Rosmerta informed Dumbledore of the Dark Mark above the school, he and Harry flew back to the school on Rosmerta's broomsticks. Once they had arrived, Dumbledore was cornered by Draco on top of the Astronomy Tower and disarmed. He attempted to kill Dumbledore, but Dumbledore tried to convince Draco not to perform the task. Draco said that he had no choice. Otherwise, Lord Voldemort would murder him and his family. Dumbledore told Draco that he shouldn't do this, and that Draco was not a killer.
He offered to protect Draco, leading Draco torn between the two paths, saying he had gotten so far, having been expected to die in the attempt, which led him desiring the honour and glory from Voldemort himself, but at the same time seemingly unable to take a human life.
Then, all of a sudden, Death Eaters appeared in the room. They tried to convince Draco to carry out the task, but Draco seemed to not know what to do. Fenrir Greyback attempted to take over but was blasted aside by Yaxley. Harry witnesses the death of Albus Dumbledore at the hands of Severus Snape. The teachers of Hogwarts and the members of the Order of the Phoenix who had been in Hogwarts Castle that night sent for Snape.
They believed he could help them in the battle. After being summoned, Snape headed to the Astronomy Tower. Once he arrived, Draco lowered his wand. Dumbledore pleaded with him. Snape hesitated, then cast the Killing Curse , killing Dumbledore. They had to fight their way through the defenders of Hogwarts to get to the grounds.
He caught up by the time the Death Eaters reached the grounds. In an attempt to avenge his fallen hero, Harry attempted to curse Snape, but Snape managed to disarm Harry, revealed that it was he, Snape, who was the Half-Blood Prince , and escaped before Harry could regain his wand. Harry realised that the locket was fake and felt that everything had been for nothing.
He told the professors that it was Snape who killed Dumbledore. They all agreed that Dumbledore deserved to be laid to rest at Hogwarts, and many people from the wizarding world attended, such as Cornelius Fudge , Rufus Scrimgeour , Dolores Umbridge , Olympe Maxime , Rita Skeeter , the Merpeople and Centaurs of Hogwarts, and many other witches and wizards. Harry Potter branded as " Undesirable Number One". Due to what was witnessed, the Order and Death Eaters believed Snape killed Dumbledore out of malicious intent, and the corrupted Ministry would take advantage of this to brand Harry as " Undesirable Number One", under the pretence of questioning him about this death.
It was only when Snape revealed his memory to Harry one year later, near his own death, thus clearing his name and reputation. For the rest of the said school year, Draco could no longer return to Hogwarts, as he was guilty of attempted murder, allowing Death Eaters entering the castle, and being a Death Eater himself. With an official criminal status placed on him, he was forced to go on the run. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were left oddly lonely without Draco to boss them around, while Harry, knowing Draco did not have the heart to commit murder, felt some sympathy for him.
The ultimate success of this plot had a huge impact upon the wizarding world, as the only wizard who was able to stand up to Voldemort was now gone, thus appearing that no one can stop him.
Furthermore, this proved that there was now no safe place from the Death Eaters, as they have managed to penetrate the castle's defences, much less they were permitted entrance by a student, and a staff at the time in public's eyes committed the murder.
The plot also had another unintended but fortuitous side-effect: when he came to confront Dumbledore on top of the Astronomy Tower, Draco used the Disarming Charm upon him and in so doing, inadvertently won the allegiance of the Elder Wand for himself. At the time, no one realised this, not even Draco or Snape. Harry would later win the Elder Wand's allegiance for himself by physically disarming Draco during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor which proved vital in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Voldemort later killed Snape as he believed Snape to have won the wand's allegiance as Snape was the one to kill Dumbledore. Harry eventually deduced the truth due to having witnessed Draco Disarm Dumbledore and information he received from Garrick Ollivander and later Dumbledore himself while in Limbo.
