Who was first to legalize euthanasia?

If you believe in the Bible, I suppose you could say that God created euthanasia. He (allegedly) facilitated the deaths of people suffering from an "incurable condition" - corruption and wickedness. If you don't believe in the Bible, you could still say that the fable of the Ark brought about the idea of a sort of euthanasia, which could have easily developed into the meaning it has today. This is just a theory, of course.
