Committing a murder is also a choice, you do realize that right? When a murderer murders, s/he accepts the death penalty.

No, you are throwing together two entirely different things. Euthanasia is not murder. And even if a person kills someone, it's not the task of the penal system to take that person's life.

It's not the task of the healthcare system to take a person's life either. Hippocratic oath anyone?

The penal system can decide any punishment it wants btw. When someone commits murder, they accept they could get the death penalty. When you touch a hot stove, you accept you will get burnt.
