I suppose we should be allowed to terminate them as well if they are deemed dangerous and/or a burden.

"Choice" and all.

It's not supposition, it's State policy for our supposedly enlightened betters in countries where UHC is the norm.

Physician-assisted suicide is only legal in a handful of countries. Most countries with universal healthcare do not have legal physician-assisted suicide. In any case, I don't think abortion is really a similar type of question. People seek physician assisted suicide because they are terminally ill and miserable, not because they are dependent on another human to live. There are other significant differences. You could reasonably have a "pro choice" opinion on one but not the other. Personally I'm pro life on both but it can be logcial to feel differently.
