Medically, when there is "no hope of improvement", people talk more about right to live versus euthanasia. Additionally, people cite "quality of life" as a reason an ill person should have a right to choose euthanasia, especially over suicide. Negative quality of life (QA) can include so many conditions, such as chronic severe pain, to illnesses such as Lou Gerigh's -- and others-- that it is impossible to list them all here.
Every person must decide what his or her own QA is during illness or disability. Two people with the exact same illness, same living conditions, same family or social supports, and same financial or other supports could each disagree about what QA means and whether each wants to live or die. Beliefs, personality, coping skills, ability to endure and to hope all enter into people's thinking and discussions about euthanasia. Just as one person may declare, "I don't want to live on a ventilator!" another person may defiantly declare, "If a ventilator keeps me alive, I still have a life!"
Other people decide to commit manslaughter or murder using the argument that they were helping patients using euthanasia. Nurses who have done these acts are called, "Angels of Death" as a juxataposition to how nurses are historically viewed as "Angels of health, hope, and comfort" despite how bad a patient's condition must be. There are only a couple states that allow euthanasia, Oregon being one. In all other incidents, the person doing euthanasia has been prosecuted and found guilty of manslaughter or murder.
Unfortunately, as long as suffering and pain enter the lives of human beings, the debates about euthanasia and suicide will continue.

Do people know if euthanasia is right?
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-:)

What are the downfalls of euthanasia?
Some people do want to die, but death is not always a good thing. Maybe they are just depressed but can still be helped. Other people will be euthanized because it suits someone else's selfish purpose, rather than because it is the best choice for them. Euthanasia is very susceptible to abuse.
Euthanasia crime or not?
* Euthanasia is a crime in most States with the exception of Oregon and Washington, but Texas, Minnesota and a few other States are trying to accept Euthanasia into their States. It's not a crime to the person that is ill if that individual has a long-term painful illness where they will not get better and want to die with dignity. Often doctors keep patients alive due to the Hippocratic Oath, but more and more doctors are 'for' Euthanasia. Some people are against it because of their religious beliefs. One day in the not too distant future Euthanasia will be an individuals right to decide upon.
