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.

I just hate these Holier Than Thous who tell some dibilated old person who has sores the side of a dinner plate and no family or friends and is laying in her own feces that she can't just Go To Sleep.
