I think a case can be made for not treating someone who is unable to sustain life unassisted. Beyond that things get very murky.

I'm actually in favour of allowing euthanasia for those who can speak for themselves, or those who have indicated they would prefer it if a certain set of circumstances should arise. I'm not so sure about those who can't speak for themselves.
