    The Naturalistic fallacy is that you cannot move from an ‘ought’ to an ‘is’. So you cannot go from what you ‘ought’ to do, to what ‘is’ right and wrong. ‘Is’ are facts and ‘Ought’ is seen more as an opinion. So I guess in your question you cannot go from what is natural to what you ought to do regarding euthanasia. It’s not necessarily a link I would make so I guess that would be the best way to make it work.
