A will does nothing of the sort, a will is meaningless until a person has died.

I’ve got a question for you, if money wasn’t a factor would you still support euthanasia?

Well it ought to define those sort of things. It comes back to control - control your own finances and their distribution and you can do whatever you want.

Money is only a factor for me in that it gives one the opportunity to 'artificially' prolong life - which is fine if someone so chooses.

I think that, as adults, we make all kinds of choices and trade-offs that trade pleasure for a shorter life, or we obstain from something for a longer life. Are you going to hover over me when I go to the ice cream shop or liquor store and prevent me from shortening my life...out of 'respect for life'?

So if it ever came to a point where one is in constant excruciating pain, and feels they have lived a full life, they ought to be able to choose to end their life. There's no shame in that. It's been done for ages and respects real human life rather than glorifying clinical life.
