Active euthanasia should not be allowed. One might opt for euthanasia because one believes it might be to one's advantage, but could one truly imagine this access being available to everyone, as a universal law? Besides, one would be using the poor doctor as merely a means to an end, without any regard for his or her professional integrity.
