In all fairness, the article did raise a perfectly valid concern.

If we are going to help the terminally ill end their days here on
this planet, the people we help had better be terminally ill.

Euthanasia can be so easily abused.

Imagine a doctor helping an injured person on their way because,
well, they have nice kidneys (and other internal organs) the
doctor knows they can find a new home for.

I'm all for people being able to end their lives when they are
suffering from incurable illnesses and suicide is what they feel
is best under the circumstances

But I don't want to see someone end their life needlessly because
someone gave them incorrect information on which to base the
decision.
