Well I would rather someone didn't but for some people I guess it seems like the only way out... I do think that regardless of whats going on they should think of themselves getting help and the people who are going to be left behind.

Your second premise is the justification used for executions and in my opinion who has the right to decide if another living, breathing human being should die? The first idea is different, if A decides their life is not worth livign then I have no problem with euthanasia. But if that person is incapable of making that decision, for example if they are in a coma, who gets to decide if their life is not worth living? Can anyone else really know if another's live is worth living to them? I am all for living wills, if a person makes out one that states clearly under what circumstances they would not wish to live, then I think it should be upheld.
