In the Netherlands,
assisted suicide soon turned to euthanasia.
At the outset, only for the terminally ill.
Now the chronically ill.
Initially for physical illness.
Now for psychological distress.
At first, strictly upon voluntary request.
Thousands of cases of euthanasia now occur
without a request from the patient.


Apparently you missed that part.

I understand why euthanasia will never be allowed in this country.
I also understand why an articulate, permanently disabled person would choose to not burden their beloved family.

Our laws are meant to protect those who cannot decide for themselves.
