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.

Murdering is a personal choice. If someone wants to murder someone instead of not murdering then who are you to criticize that?

When you commit a murder, you accept the consequences you will face. If I rob a bank, I accept I may be caught and put into prison.

And no, the death penalty is not "frequently administrated to innocent people." No innocent person has ever been killed by the death penalty - and with DNA and forensic evidence, it's highly unlikely to happen.

On the other hand, 25% of euthanasia cases in the Netherlands and Belgium do not have proper consent forms. In Brazil, a doctor euthanized 300 people to make "way for more beds." 300 innocent people dead due to euthanasia just to make way for more beds. THAT is barbaric, my friend. Not mercifully killing a guy who raped and murdered a 14 year old girl.
