It could be done legally as it is in the Netherlands now. I'm not suggesting that we all cart off great aunt Doris to the vets so we can spend our inhertitance, but we should have the informed choice about when the quality of life is deemed unacceptable, just as we do for animal's lives now.

I do approach this subject from a slightly different perspective, having an incurrable degenerative disease, ableit one that isn't going to kill me. I'm not being defeatist, as I'm hoping there will be a cure before long, if there isn't, and rather than being able to live dependently, I would certainly like the option when to end my life legally rather than live with. in my opinion, a poor quality of life.
