Euthanasia is either killing or assisted suicide of someone that for one reason or another usually as the result of illness does not wish to continue living. The system has trouble getting its mind around the risk of euthanasia becoming a way to do away with people before they want to go. It would not be hard to abuse the laws that would surround euthanasia. It is even likely that pressure can be brought to bear in sick persons to agree to being killed that would not make the decision otherwise. Many people are afraid that the system would be abused, Add to this the religious stand on suicide and this is a pretty hot topic
Euthanasia can affect patients who may consider it as an option to end their suffering, as well as their families who may have to make difficult decisions about end-of-life care. Healthcare providers involved in administering or considering euthanasia may also be impacted emotionally, morally, and legally. Additionally, society at large may be affected by debates surrounding ethical, legal, and moral implications of euthanasia.
The government did not spend any money on euthanasia in 2009. Euthanasia is typically funded by private individuals or organizations and is not a service provided or funded by the government.
Euthanasia is illegal in many countries and only allowed in limited circumstances in others. In places where euthanasia is legal, it is typically administered by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinic setting after meeting certain legal and medical criteria. Consult with a qualified healthcare provider for more information on the laws and options available in your area.
Advantages of euthanasia, or right-to die policies, is in allowing the person to maintain a dignity in death after a lifetime of dignity. It may provide them with a sense of empowerment in the face of being powerless against the progression of a chronic, perhaps fatal, disease. It can also relieve some of the guilt and shame they may be feeling as they require increasing amounts of time and resources from relatives, especially if estranged over years. A central theme includes a persons quality of life. Disadvantages may involve the "slippery slope" many ethicists feel may occur, thinking that voluntary euthanasia can devalue human life. Quality of life is not as significant a theme as is maintenance of a life. Many religious groups feel this may eventually lead to such a widespread value system in society that elderly individuals may be pressured against their will to utilize this option by those with a vested interest ( beneficiaries of life insurance policies, directors of health maintenance organizations, etc.).

People who aren't dead yet.
Sometimes when people have a very serious and incurable disease they would prefer to be dead than to continue to be alive but sick. Euthanasia is the practice of killing such people.
The most important reason is fear; fear that euthanasia can so easily be abused.
there is no such arrangement possible. Non voluntary euthanasia is execution.
No, and that's why it shouldn't be performed. Only dangerous animals (such as bears who have entered people's houses) need euthanasia (the bear could return and do serious harm to residents). People think that euthanasia is better than natural death, but they have no proof that the prophets or God has ever said it. The truth is, people got the idea of euthanasia from their thoughts, and not from any logical source. I guess that people just want an excuse to kill, or get rid of so-called 'beloved pets'. I hope animal euthanasia will end some day. 0-:)
