Right. My concern, (and from what I've read, the concern of many in the disabilities community) is that it wouldn't be that extreme if euthanasia were made legal.
It's easy to imagine a doctor or guardian of someone with severe disabilities saying, "This person is in extreme pain at all times. Their quality of life is very poor. Therefore I feel they should be euthanized." All this being done without involvement of the person themselves.
And let me make this clear, I'm not saying that supporters of euthanasia are wrong, I just feel this point needs to be addressed.
