"Would it be okay for someone about to be euthanised to be anesthatised first so some med student could practice on them before putting them to sleep?"
That is, obviously, not the same question. If the human euthanasia were voluntary they would have the ability to answer that question first.
If it were involuntary then there are so many other immoral(amoral) things going on (we usually call it murder) and the people doing the killing aren't likely to think twice.
It is a bit more grey when it comes to animals. Or at least it will be until pet owners become more responsible about unfettered reproduction.
