No, it isn't. Every Libertarian I've met favors legalized euthanasia.
The Green Goblin is a libertarian. Libertarian primciples do not allow murder.
Ah, but they allow the inconvenient to remove themselves from our midst. And they don't get overly fussy about making sure that private transactions are adequately documented, so they would end up, in practice, winking and nudging at fraudulent euthanasia, all in defense of "freedom" and "keeping nosy bureaucrats out of our private affairs."
The real world is a tad more complex than Libertarianism allows for.
I realize that as a socialist it's your duty to point out how mean and hateful capitalists are, but you're really using the wrong forum; you're supposed to be pretending to be a conservative, remember?
People who disagree with you are not necessarily socialists. People who are sane are neither socialist nor libertarian, and with damn good reason, as your latest brain drippings reveal.
Basically, libertarianism works in a world where people are innately good, without any evil impulses anywhere. Sadly to say, that world does not exist.

Of course libertarian ideas won't work without a moral component. That's been said since the beginning of our country, Poohbah.
I'm too tired to lok for it, but paraphrased, a famous quote from those times said,
"Our society is made for a moral, religious people. If the people abandon their morals, our Republic will not survive."Our founders were libertarian, and everybody the world over knew that their "idealistic" government would not survive.
