I don't think the question is how easy it is but rather how willing one is to do it. Mind over matter.How easy it is for you to kill someone.
In the matter of euthanasia, if a total stranger is hopelessly suffering and I have the means to end his/her pain it will be a relatively easy decision to make. But if the sufferer is someone I know and have emotional involvement with it will be a difficult and probably painful decision.
As for suicide; I resent being told I may not end my own life if I choose to and have made all necessary arrangements and provisions to avoid burdening anyone by my action. I believe there should be a service available where those who wish to die can be accommodated re all the legal and practical matters then hooked up to an intraveinous heroin drip and allowed to slowly drift away in a state of physical ecstasy. Why should those for whom life is a daily torment be forced to endure it.
I further believe such an option should be available to long-term prison inmates. I've always felt that the emphasis on suicide prevention in prisons is a counterproductively sadistic and rather stupid policy.
A side benefit of such accommodation would be the abundance of transplantable organs.
I disagree. We don't have the right to take another being's life.
But don't we have an obligation to make the decision as easy as possible for the people and their families? Nobody wants to force Billy to stab grandma in the heart with a butcher knife, but We, The Peeps owe it to grandma to help her family honor her wishes in any way we can, even if that means counseling little Billy because grandma chose to hang on and fight to the bitter end.
