"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

The only time you can make a reasonable case is hospice, when the person is obviously suffering the last few days. However any good hospice provides enough medication to keep the person sedated and comfortable. Even to the point of near comatose. As long as their body breathes on its own enough can be provided to remove the pain. I don't see why Euthanasia should be necessary. I can see the reason for a living will. Just have a clause that says dope me up and keep me happy.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

And so the decision must be made by others. And the family has no right to take, or order the doctors to take, the life of anyone on a contingency basis. They are also under no particular obligation to support that life with the various medical methods we all know and love, but the killing blow is not reserved for man in these instances.

I'd rather not die in my own filth under the influence of some pretty hard drugs.

If you want to be an unaware vegetable laying in your filth (and you will be in that place) then please, feel free to make that your choice. But do not make your choice the law and expect others to live such undignified existence.
