Quote:Long story short, GC does support voluntary euthanasia, but doesn't [realize] it for reasons unknown?
Much more likely. GC, you did describe euthanasia, of the sort that is typically legally grey. While the practice isn't institutionalized as a right it is already employed as a practiciality. For what it's worth it sounds like you did the right thing for the right reasons, and it doesn't cheapen it in any way to call it what it is, so perhaps your position on this matter here on the forums is a kneejerk reaction to a term that you felt carried negative connotations, and in no way indicative of the position you would take with full consideration of the individuals wishes irl?
