I believe in countries that allow for euthanasia, the decision can only be made by the person themselves, after consultation with more than one psyciatrist and a consultant doctor ( ie: not the doctor treating said patient).
There has to be a very sever control of euthanasia, that can never be carried out at the request of another than the patient, be they family, caretakers or officials (governamental), otherwise euthanasia becomes a way of hastening an inheritance, alleviating work and/or a money saving excercise, instead of a means to alleviating unecessary and futile suffering.
That said, I hope when and if it comes to that, that it will be an option open to myself. Always very well regulated.
