Wouldn't euthanization (is that a word?) and serving out a death penalty be the same thing? The only real difference is we'd be allowing the person to choose which fate they want but its still a state sponsored death carried out in the name of the people. It doesn't really eliminate the death penalty it only keeps the state from forcing it on people.
The only way to REALLY remove the state/people from the equation would be to allow the prisoner access to cyanide pills or something and let them take care of it themselves...but that would open up the doors to a whole new set of problems I'd imagine.
