It's not just that, but the fact that an organ of state has no deeper value system for weighing the extent of a person's suffering or the value of their life. It's all complete arbitrary guesswork, even when they allow it for someone with a terminal illness. One person in 24/7 pain might want to die, yet another might soldier on bravely to the last and never lose hope; someone with a deathplague might remain optimistic for the future yet a person with tinnitus or chronic back pain might curse their whole life.
Ask a government to create a standard of judging this right to death and pretty soon afterwards they'll re-examine the standard and realise it isn't based on anything concrete, then decide the right is open to anyone. And if you're euthanising healthy yet traumatised 23 year olds on the say so of a couple of quacks, then you're pretty much there already.
After that, the state will start to leverage and encourage the euthanasia 'option' against those whose lives it considers inconvenient. We haven't got there yet but we will soon enough.
There was also the instance where the Canuck version of the VA told a combat veteran to kill himself. And then bragged that this wasn't the first time they had given that advice.

How the heck does anyone tolerate living in Canada?
Canada, truly leading the field in all ways dystopian.
