'Unproductive burdens' still have a right to live

Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: 'Unproductive burdens' still have a right to live: "One patient of mine, a woman with disabilities and minimal self-confidence, received a cruel letter from a close relative effectively telling her she should be dead, and demanding certain arrangements in her will. She then developed cancer. Consider such family dynamics in a setting of legalised euthanasia, and ask what the 'right to die' would mean to a cancer patient so isolated and intimidated."
