If you're speaking of involuntary euthanasia, then I agree that they are two opposite sides of the "respect for the individual" coin. That is, assisted suicide respects the individual's preferences, while involuntary euthanasia is the opposite--it ignores them.
Voluntary euthanasia falls on the former side, too, while "life-at-all-costs-regardless-of-what-the-patient-wants" falls on the anti-patient side.
You can believe differently if you wish, but you are wrong ~ not only in that but in everything else.
LOL!
Folks who think life is improved by killing the weak or innocent really shouldn't be trusted.
Agreed....along with those who feel that they (or the government and its legislation) know better than a person how to run his life.
It's much better that you die at your own hands.
