It's not a slippery slope if it's actually happening

But you're right, the state isn't euthanizing anyone against their will, and they don't need to

They can simply change incentives in such a way that people decide that it is what they want all on their own

If there are abuses we should strive to minimize or abolish those abuses. The alternative - to tolerate incalculable human suffering and force the loved ones of those suffering to stand there and watch - is unacceptable.

It's not a slippery slope if it's real. They even describe the slope slipping in TFA if you are even capable of reading.
