Million Dollar baby

Just finished watching Million dollar baby. Quite disturbing , but then euthanasia is a disturbing subject. Though since the movie revolves round boxing , its difficult to identify with as its a sport i detest. Hilary swank is good, morgan freeman and clint eastwood play themselves in their parts. I kind of expected more from this movie , but it seemed ordinary, (not so )young fighter loses her ability to fight and wants to die is helped by mentor who doesnt want to do it first. Ok so theres more to it , but i dunno , it wasn't that touching. Seems to have been overhyped. But the question of euthanasia remains as i suppose it will remain, unresolved.
On a side note,read somewhere, can people who smoke be arrested for attempting suicide?
I guess there are so many grey areas to euthanisia which is why it seems problematic. It doesnt help that the people who make the laws are prone to only secure their votes and no serious debate is held. And so i believe the same as i did before watching the movie. Life once gone cannot be got back so when in doubt preserve life
