From the Paper:

"Whether euthanasia should be legal is one of those hotly debated questions that revolves around choice. It is about giving people access to medical assistance in dying. The discussion about euthanasia often challenges peoples' values and involves emotional accusations such as threatening the lives of medically vulnerable people. I think that the basic question posed by euthanasia is whether a person who is terminally ill; who feels that life is not worth living because of uncontrollable pain, loss of dignity, loss of capability; who repeatedly and actively asks to be helped in committing suicide; and whose mind is sound and not suffering from depression, should be given assistance in dying. I think the fair answer to this question is yes, euthanasia should be a matter of individual choice."
