Why do people do euthanasia?
Euthanasia is either killing or assisted suicide of someone that for one reason or another usually as the result of illness does not wish to continue living. The system has trouble getting its mind around the risk of euthanasia becoming a way to do away with people before they want to go. It would not be hard to abuse the laws that would surround euthanasia. It is even likely that pressure can be brought to bear in sick persons to agree to being killed that would not make the decision otherwise. Many people are afraid that the system would be abused, Add to this the religious stand on suicide and this is a pretty hot topic

What people are affected by euthanasia?
Euthanasia can affect patients who may consider it as an option to end their suffering, as well as their families who may have to make difficult decisions about end-of-life care.

Additionally, society at large may be affected by debates surrounding ethical, legal, and moral implications of euthanasia.

No, but it has a name in the law enforcement community. It is called suicide by cop.
Does life insurance get paid to families in cases of euthanasia?
Not many insurance companies will pay out if someone commits suicide. Euthanasia would have to be proved if that was the case. Often it cannot be proved and so it is deemed the person committed suicide. They do not because then there would be nothing stopping someone taking out insurance for $10M and then killing themselves. Most life insurance policies have a suicide exclusion to them. An alternate answer: Euthanasia (Greek meaning 'well death') is legal in Oregon (Death With Dignity Act) and Washington, but Texas, Minnesota and other States are close to making Euthanasia legal under the human rights act. This would mean that one can choose (along with verification from doctors) that the patient in question has a lengthily and painful illness with no hope of survival or for the aged that are dying from a slow and painful death and to give patients such as this the dignity of passing away in the manner they so choose. Death by physician assisted suicide is not considered suicide and therefore should not affect the insurance policy. It is best to speak with your lawyer as far as any life insurance policies should a person choose euthanasia.

Assisted suicide is right or wrong?
Physician assisted suicide is a very touchy subject. It has been made famously public by Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Physician assisted suicide takes place when a patient of a doctor decides they no longer would like to live. In this case, the doctor would help the patient to set up a plan to take their own life, usually with a medication. There are a large amount of arguments to whether physician assisted suicide is ethical.
