Question Where can I find some good philosophical/political arguments for and against euthanasia?

Well, certainly one classic paper is Joel Feinberg's "Voluntary Eutanasia and the Inalienable Right to Life", which just happens to be online here.

A very thoughtful article against the right to take one's own life is David Velleman's "A Right of Self-Termination?", in Ethics 109 (1999), pp. 606-628. I disagree with his conclusion, but his position is the one that has given me most pause about my own.
