This is a fascinating discussion....love that opposing views can be presented in a civil manner.

You should therefore have a Living Will and explicit instructions in the case of catastrophe. It's a blessing to your survivors in a way, since they will know your desires. OMD's point comparing this situation to the death penalty is a good one. The underlying premise there is that it is better to err by allowing a guilty person to escape death than to execute an innocent person. By parity of reasoning, protection of the people who do not choose death but whose personal liberty could be permanently extinquished by allowing unbridled euthanasia should be of greater concern than thwarting the desires of others for suicide.
