So using your logic, you're cool with euthanizing the mentally disabled and catatonic.

I'll say this much, I'd support the culling of known pedophiles for starters. Some folks are broken and don't belong on this earth. Don't bother with slippery slope arguments...we're talking hypothetical here, not policy, so keep it intellectually honest.
The two groups you list don't bug me overmuch because they don't really hurt anyone else, at least not directly. Arguments proposing their euthanizing usually boil down to "drain upon society" arguments, which I reject as irrelevant. Everyone's a drain on society in some way or another. On the other hand, neither do I have any strong opposition towards unplugging the brain-damaged and allowing nature to take its course, particularly if its the wish of their next-of-kin.
