The trouble is that euthanasia and assisted suicide laws give licence, in supposed prescribed circumstances, for the laws against homicide to be breached.

The governments understandings is to care for the people, act for the people, and think for the people and they do an incredible stand back and listen position which has to be made very carefully due to the mine fields of law....sure I would like the safeguard for which in the event of "NO CHANCE of SURVIVAL"...but just think if we were all able to take that avenue...how can we test new drugs/DNA technology?...so there has to be a point of understandings, when the point of humanity is indeed, a very fine line for the law makers.

We already have both voluntary and non-voluntary passive euthanasia--people are allowed to die of curable diseases such as pneumonia when they are suffering from incurable and painful illnesses, or when they are in the advanced stages of dementia. There is no moral difference between those and active euthanasia--the intent is death. But there has not been a slippery slope here.
