If voluntary euthanasia is to be legalized, it would prove impossible to avoid the legalization or, at least toleration, or non-voluntary euthanasia. But, even if the former can be justified, the latter clearly cannot. Hence, it is better that the first step (legalizing voluntary euthanasia) not be taken so as to prevent a slide into non-voluntary euthanasia.
