I don't think it's any other person's right to "grant" me euthanasia - it is surely the individual's choice. My body belongs to me alone, and no-one has the right to tell me I must suffer because it satisfies their morality. As I said, if I were in that situation, I wouldn't be asking anyone's permission, I would just get on and do it.

But if we are talking about assisted suicides then of course that is open to abuse and would need to be strictly regulated.
