My position is that it should be part of a free and universal healthcare system, and the real moral challenge is going to be that it's unaffordable to those who need it.
The moral challenge right now is for the right to euthanasia in countries where the rule of law is based on religion, viewing suicide as a sin, and uses the state to enforce that restriction on the entire population (most countries).
The next moral challenge is defining in what cases it is morally justifiable. If I'm ever diagnosed with Dementia or Alzheimers I want the right to choose a quick and peaceful death at a time of my choosing, but even current euthanasia advocates don't support those cases, and most laws only allow it when a terminal illness will most likely kill you rapidly (within 1 year) and you still posses full self-awareness. Both of my examples are cases where incapacitation may be years away.
I expect the rise of fascism to accelerate it's adoption though, especially when climate change and resource wars pop off, or the addition of automation results in massive unemployment; they'll promote its usage for criminals, the homeless/poor, disabled, elderly, etc, etc... Calling it Freedom™️ instead of genocide, of-course.
Of course. Fascists ruin everything.
