I was reading on the net that Euthanasia is legalized in the Netherlands. Euthanasia is the practice were terminally ill patients are "put to sleep" with the assistance of a physician.

Some of the articles I read also stated that in certain cases though, euthanasia was administered for non life-threatening
cases such as depression, arthritis, diabetes, infants born with deformities/handicaps. In a few cases, euthanasia was even administered without the patients consent! It seems to me too much to euthanize someone for depression, when they can be easily medicated with drugs or treated with therapy...

Anyways, I think this is pretty scary. I can see the advantage if someone is terminally ill and suffering from severe pain, but it also is something that can be abused if not supervised. What does everyone else think??
