I think the relevance is: If a family has decided that an elderly relative is of so little value to them that they will abandon them at a hospital with no need of medical attention, then the convenience of quietly and legally ending their life will outweigh the burden of providing support and family for that relative.

Right, but this isn't what the proposition is. It's that a person has a right to end their own life, not that someone else can just arbitrarily choose to euthanize someone else.
