quote “when a person has an incurable disease and requests euthanasia”

the key phrase here is the above.

This is a far cry from what the title suggests.

The question as asked would include someone asking to be taken off life support or end other types of treatment and simply be allowed to take pain killers while they pass away.

I have no intention of being stuck in hospital at my end. Once my number is up (if given the time and the choice) I will choose to go home and LIVE out whatever time I have left in whatever way I choose and control the pain with medication until the end.

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.
