> The slippery slope is occurring right now in Canada:

I see that the right to end your own life is being expanded in Canada. I see no evidence from what you shared that the qualitative change over to involuntary euthanasia is in any danger of occurring, nor that there is any motion in that direction.

As the blog you cite points out, we withdraw care from infants in the first two categories on a routine basis, which has exactly the same effect as euthanasia, but with extra suffering for the infant. As far as I'm concerned, we already euthanize these infants. We just do it in the most painful way possible.
