I don't even see how "passive" is euthanasia at all? That's just nature, right? I know I don't want to be revived or kept on life support if something serious happens to me.

My grandmother died in 2003 of alzheimer's and my great-aunt died the same year of cancer. Neither had any special treatments or anything, instead choosing to live out their lives at home and die in peace.

What I would love, if I were in that situation, is good painkillers if there's any pain. But, I'd want to die in peace - OUT of a hospital.

As far as active euthanasia...I can't say I'm, morally, in favor. (I'm also, morally, not in favor of abortion or capital punishment, for the record.)
