Firstly, I think it's important to realise that doctors and family members take part in euthanasia on a very regular basis by giving patients too many painkillers to end their lives. In that respect, I find it strange that our country happily accepts euthanasia already, yet rejects the idea of legalising it.
Secondly I would say that despite finding it in some ways an unsettling concept, yes I agree with it. I believe in liberty and the freedom to make one's own decisions; I'm therefoe compelled to accept that people should be trusted to know when things are simply too bad for them. The overriding issue that should be taken into account is the quality of life of a patient from the patient's viewpoint.
