I am against the choice, but I don't think the law should enforce my personal stance against those who do not share my beliefs. Provided that patients have protection against possible abuses (power of attorney may result in some being euthanized who object as an example) and that everyone involved is to be held at high levels of scrutiny and accountability, I say let the patient decide their treatment---even if that treatment is euthanasia.

There should be protections for Doctors who feel that the procedure is diametrically opposed to their commitment to "do no harm", but protections also be granted to the patient so there isn't undue delays or hurdles in getting the procedure done.
