For "Cannot Harm Innocents" I wouldn't apply a modifier at all.

We can debate whether euthanasia is good or bad, but if the character genuinely thinks of it as helping the person (and the person being euthanized agrees...), then I'd consider it to count as following the "spirit of the law" as far as Cannot Harm Innocents is concerned, by seeking to spare them pain and suffering.

Not sure about "Cannot Kill", but generally I would say if the character takes that moral position that euthanasia is OK is simply extra depth.
