You see, that's the problem. We have opinion and desire. We have intellect and rationale. With those we can come to many decisions. Without Divine grounding we can justify anything.
I wouldn't want to watch a deformed and mentally damaged child struggle in life, or watch elderly people decline into painful debilitation. I don't want to see people suffer.
You can make all sorts of decisions upon what you don't want to do based on compassion. But is it just? Is it moral? Is it right? Who are we to determine when someone has outlived their usefulness to society as though humans are nothing more than cogs in a machine.
The suffering are a burden. Do they want to die? Not all. Not the ones I am around. I don't know that this girl wants to die. Basing decisions for others on what you personally desire for yourself is not good policy.
Euthanasia is not an option for me.

Very well said.
Death should be God's decision, but there are times when it is also in our hands. It would be nice, if this was never an option, but it isn't. We have to sometimes do what we don't want to do, even when it comes to life and death.
