As you say, euthanasia should be available to everyone. If someone wants to end their own life, they should be free to do so. That it's illegal is mental. Anyone would think our lives are not our own but property of the state.

I had the euthanasia debate in class today! personally i think the US and canada should legalize it because suicide tourism is the weirdest thing, and also very inconvenient. Also Terry PRatchett's alzheimer's is really sad and he's a beloved author of mine
there's always the euthanasia coaster, too! (somebodsy actually came up with this)
