I think there is a place for euthanasia, though it makes me uneasy to say so. Perhaps I mean assisted suicide. I mean, look at your grandmother. If she has all of her marbles, is going to die anyway, and wants to die sooner in a more dignified and less painful manner , why should anyone stop her?
There are several dangers though -- how to judge that someone has made a rational decision, as opposed to being suicidal due to treatable depression? And when people start making these decisions for other people, then the red flags really pop up.
