Under very, very specific circumstances, you can ask your doctor for euthanasia. Your doctor has to confirm you are completely sane and that you 'suffer unbearably'. For example: you have got cancer in a terminal phase and you suffer from enormous pains. Two other doctors, who do not know your doctor or you, will have to see you and conclude the same - independently. And they all have to file a report. Only then, your doctor won't be prosecuted if he performs euthanasia.
