I am not a believer in euthanasia, either. But I place a distinction between euthanasia (where people decide for the ill person that they need to be "put to sleep") and suicide or assisted suicide (where the ill person makes his or her own choice when and how to die. I've seen the two definitions used interchangeably, but I think the term carries an implication of force.

I hadn't considered that - I think I would also draw a distinction between someone who has a terminal illness choosing their time of death vs someone who is depressed. Thanks for sharing your perspective:)
