Euthanasia by cryonics, or euthanasia in general? I’m pretty certain that euthanasia isn’t illegal in parts of the US, and if you’re careful you can make it count as suicide.
If people started having themselves euthanized by cryonics I’m pretty sure there would be efforts to outlaw this even in states where euthanasia is legal. They would be “concerned” about a Cryonics company selling this “solution” to people who are healthier than would normally opt for the straight-up death kind of suicide.
A very good question. It could be that specific “humane” methods are mandated, or there might be specific criteria as to circumstance which might proscribe applying it to some situations that might warrant it (perhaps there are requirements of significant, imminent threat that early or middle stages of a degenerative cognitive ailment fail to meet, while one might prefer to be preserved while still more functional depending just how one judges the odds).
I am not sure what the actual legal landscape looks like.

By cryonics, I understood.
So, why would specific methods of euthanasia be illegal?
