It doesn’t matter why, or whether or not the person requests it. A right to euthanasia or assisted suicide Immediately becomes a duty to do so.
When someone gets a certain diagnosis or condition, relatives and medical types will begin to view the person as “selfish” for wanting to live it to the end.
Heir will want the inheritance or to rid themselves of the “burden’.
Medical types will think you are wasting medical care.

No, we should never make euthanasia legal, because this first method Hitler used will be come fully expected.

We are quibbling over the definition of euthanasia.

You are picturing a doctor giving someone something that kills them (most likely, but not always, without their consent)

I am talking about a person deciding they don't want to continue treatment that probably wont work anyway (like Chemo for Cancer) and instead, being given the option of refusing said treatment and leave the hospital and live out the remainder of their lives in the manner they see fit.

The exact way this poll was worded would inadvertently include many who are thinking of the 2nd scenario not the first.
