Whilst I'm no fan of this, I do support the availability of euthanasia for terminally ill adults. If somebody is dying of a pretty chronic, drawn out disease then I feel that they should have the option of passing into the next world without too much suffering.
Certainly, many countries, including the UK already have euthanasia by default because of drugs that doctors use in pain management, and often a doctor will just finish a patient off towards the end under this premise. This is a somewhat bizarre situation as seemingly most people are quite content with that this should happen, but yet people who suffer from conditions like MS have littel recourse but to go on living with a low quality of life, not quite in a position that a doctor can finish them off
