Margo Jane Campbell deals very eloquently with these issues, especially the 'slippery slope' argument and the 'myth' that euthanasia is an acceptable choice for some Disabled People, in her presentation archived on the Leeds website here http://www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies/archiveuk/Campbell/Leeds%20Uni%201 5%20Nov%202006.pdf I find Jane's presentation particularly pertinent and persuasive not least because it tackles head-on an attempt made in that year by Lord Joffe, a fan of assisted suicide, to get a regulatory framework established for it in the UK. Fortunately Jane and others campaigning inside and outside Parliament defeated him.
