How does voluntary euthanasia lead to non-voluntary euthanasia?

Greed is the short way of putting it. To elaborate if you legalize euthanasia in any form it then opens up more doors, you have decided that killing another person who is suffering is ok but there are those who would have you put down because keeping you alive was more expensive or they simply wanted their inheritance. If it was legalized and your greedy daughter for example wanted money for a upcoming vacation she could convince people it was kinder to kill you now just so she could have her way. That's when you get organized crime involved in this racket and soon murder has been legalized just renamed.
