It is. I only included that anecdote because it was the closest I have had to a personal experience with the matter. To me, the issues are more complex when you're talking about active euthanasia.
It is very complicated. You can only really judge if euthanasia is the right way to go when you are directly involved with the scenario.
You are in murky waters when the person in suffering cannot clearly and surely or even slightly indicate their choice.
Indeed Pad, it's down to choice. You don't have the right to tell someone else how to live, so to me, you have no right to tell them how they should die.
