There was a story on 60 minutes about euthanasia in the Netherlands-very informative-they don't have a problem with suicidal murders or bumping mom off to get the inheritance. It's very humane and done with dignity-they deal with babies born with horrible incurable or irrepairable birth defects-the quality of life is determined by number from 1-10 and no one who has a thread of hope is ever euthanised. Also just because someone is old-no reason to "put them to sleep". I think the Hemlock society(assisted suicide) is also informative-they hate to see anyone suffer-very compassionate people!
