    They aren’t telling other people what to do, they are in favor of having the ability to decide. Euthanasia baing illegal is deciding everyone who is terminally ill must have a slow and agonizing death.

      That’s not what was written:

      • What are flaws of allowing anyone to euthanize themselves?
      • People might feel pressured to kill themselves.
      • And what is wrong with that?

      That is exactly the opposite of giving people the option to choose. It’s pushing them into a given direction.

      And just for the record: I watched my Great grandma wither away in a senior home while asking to be let go. I would have gladly given her peace if it was legal. But it has to be the person’s own choice. Free from others influence and pressure.
