"Physician Assisted Death" sounds like the doctor decided the patient needed to just die. No reference to patient choice there!

You have correctly identified step two of this particular slippery slope. Thus it has already evolved in Europe, where doctors are already euthanizing people. Step three will be to take the doctors out of the decision loop, and make it a governmental bureaucratic decision, based on "quality of life" and costs to the socialized medical system.
