I, personally have no problem with it. Life comes from the mind, not the body.
On the other hand, the question is when it will be applied. Let's face it, we're all human. And for all the good things that that sentence means, that also means our judgement is clouded, our opinions muddled. The way the law is in most countries, it's to avoid horrible situations.
The reason why it isn't allowed is simple, where will the line be drawn? Sure, everything is nice and clear at first, everyone is happily euthanizing everywhere. Then a case comes up where it's not as black and white as we would like it to be. We let it slide. Then another one, and another. The the law must be changed to avoid all of these exceptions coming up. Then the limit gets lowered. Then another case... You can see where I'm going with this?
As with many things, it works on paper. If the human race was ruled by a giant computer, that is perfectly boolean about everything, and everything is black or white, it would work.
We are humans, we make mistakes. Let's not lose lives because of them.
