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.

Euthanasia is a personal choice. If someone wants medical assisted suicide instead of jumping in front a train and causing other people harm, who are you to critisize that?

And you have a very strange definition of acceptance. When I touch a hot stove, I don't accept I get burned, I just get burned. If you commit a murder for whatever reasons of many, you do not "accept" the possability of death penalty.

The death penalty is stupid and barbaric and seeing how the US death penalty system quite frequently administers the death penalty to innocent people, you could say your penal system really kills people.
