Simple. Life support costs thousands, even up to millions of dollars, all depending on how long someone is kept alive. Whereas if someone ends their life voluntarily the cost is very little, say a shot to the head, slit wrists, or even the potassium from an IV drip from a full day's course being injected instantly (which is a similar amount used in lethal injections), but then the family needs to pay for the funeral afterwards.
There is an association called Dignitas (an association in accordance with Swiss law), situated in Switzerland. They assist people who travel to them (from all over the world). Dignitas, founded in 1998 at Forch (near Zurich), pursues no commercial interests. Their objective is to ensure a life and a death with dignity. For more information, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Sources and Related Links. The website information is provided in English, German, French and Italian. A brochure is also available from Dignitas. At this time, 2011, there is no equivalent help in North America or the UK; that situation may or may not change in the future.
The average cost for an animal shelter to euthanize an animal is about $15.

You would have to ask your veterinarian about the cost of euthanasia - a Pomeranian is a small dog, so the cost for the drugs will be low. Usually the most expensive part of euthanasia is the cost of disposal of the body.
No. In 2006 Holland lealized euthanasia for babies born with incurable diseases that involve "unbearable suffering". Assisted suicide (not the same as euthanasia) is legal in Switzerland and is offered by the human rights organization Dignitas to screened clients who may travel to Switzerland from abroad for the service.
I just mailed a letter to Switzerland from the US yesterday, and it cost $0.98.
Euthanasia can only be justified when it is assisted suicide. if the decision is made because of cost then it is execution.
This is called Euthanasia and in most countries it is illegal. In Switzerland and Holland there is legal Euthanasia. See related link for laws and information about Euthanasia around the world.

The Netherlands, and certain states of the United States are two that come to mind.
