No. However, I hope you're not planning on doing that to your patients; it'll make people suspicious of you. I think you should keep such controversial views to yourself, unless they specifically ask you about it---need to know basis only.....Not, tell everyone what you feel/think.

The Hippocratic oath can be deemed to be very clear. Anyway you should know what those who are interviewing you really feel about their medical oath before you inform them about your own stance. In any case it is always bad to be pro euthanasia as a matter of principle. To a man who fights to preserve another's life, dead is absurd, out of question, therefore for him it would be an absurdity to be pro euthanasia.

I think you need to read this book by John M Barry if you even have a chance of making it. It not just the history of the 1918 Flu Pandemic, but goes into great detail how and why the first medical schools where set up. And also of the character of the first doctors that went to them. I think it will inspire you.

If you want to get into medical school, I would keep quiet.
There is something called the Hippocratic Oath....which somehow prevents euthanasia.

No they want the truth from you. They might ask you why are you pro euthanasia and they'd want specifics

I think it would be good for any panel to know what you believe in. What if it ever did become legal? If it did, it would be like abortion, some doctors would still refuse to do it and some doctors would specialize in it. Maybe test the theory out with a school you don't really want to go to, tell them you believe in it and see if they accept you. If they do I would think they did accepted you on your honesty, good grades and personality.

I don't think it's wise to volunteer the information.
