Personally I think euthanasia and assisted suicide should not be viewed as the same thing. I don't see any issues with assisted suicide, where the person involved is clearly participating (so long as the are mentally capable of making and understanding the decision). Euthanasia I can see having a slippery slope and I'd want us to be a bit more careful with that; if we're going to legalize euthanasia then we need to look at the experiences in other jurisdictions and have really tight laws.
