What was the purpose of euthanasia?
To end a person's suffering. It's an ethical dilemma that tears the medical community on it's head, because there's no cure for many conditions (usually cancer) and terminal patients often die in a massive amount of pain. The conundrum is that the doctor has an obligation to help, and not harm, the patient. Some see ending the suffering as helping and humane and some see killing the patient as harmful, by definition, in all circumstances. Euthanasia is when the doctor intentionally causes the death of the patient. This is not the same as giving doses of medication with the aim of relieving suffering that runs a risk of killing the patient. The former is generally illegal while the latter is not. The distinction is one of intent (whether killing the patient was the goal or just an acceptable risk). Physician assisted suicide is when a doctor prescribes a medication to a patient for the purpose of ending the patient's life but allows the patient to administer it to themselves. It can be just a prescription for pills or go as far as starting an IV for them. Most places do not draw a distinction between that an euthanasia (in both cases the intent is to kill the patient) and so ban it.
