When Killing Isn't

I'm with Julian Sanchez on this:

The problem is that the law has no problem with letting a patient die, that is, with removing a feeding tube and letting her starve, but it does object to euthanasia by way of, say, a relatively quick and painless lethal injection.
He makes a case that any distinction between the two does not exist.
