Phil there is already euthanasia for people. About 15 years ago husbands Mother age 64 was diagnosed with ALS and decided in the hospital she didn't want to die this way she choice to die then. All the family including me was in the room when the docs came in to discuss it. With agreement of the family. She was allowed to remove O2 and she was given a drink of her cocktail she liked at dinner. And a morphine drip was started. Three days later she died. She would have lived for years. She chose not to. She could walk, talk, cook at the time.
I was also told by my pdoc that I could chose to live or die that is unassisted. Phillipa
