With a terminal patient is it necessarily immoral, if that was their wish?

Physicians and nurses are not and should not be in the position of killing people. First, yes, it is immoral, and second, it is far too dangerous a slippery slope to forced euthanasia. With an aging baby boomer population and increased lifespan, the temptation will be there. We are already seeing signs.
If a person wants to end their own life, there are countless ways which do not involve others. People have been doing it without our help for thousands of years.
