I can see potential problems with this, as with anything concerning a person's life at stake. But with that said, this is long overdue.
I want to state somehow legally that if were to be in a situation where the pain is unbearable with no potential for recovery, end it. If I'm nothing but a wasting pile of assisted life with no real chance for recovery, end it. Medical efforts and funds are better invested in people who do stand a chance.
OK, that part said, i see that there are potential BAD things with the decision whether to end it without request. Tough call. :-/ VERY tough call, but I would disagree with it simply because like said, there's no consent. Someone who has potential to live a happy life despite "abnormalties" and someone who does have a chance DOES deserve that shot at life with the medical advancements we have to assist them.
