Thank you for your post! Awareness is the key word in my opinion. In the Netherlands (where I live) euthanasia can be performed if deemed rightful by repetitive demand of the person and if two separate impartial physician conclude that the person is suffering without any possibility of improvement. It is only performed a few times a year.
I believe we need a general discussion on the topic of a fulfilled life. People are getting older and realize, they have done everything in life they wanted to do and at a certain point do not want to continue living anymore. The discussion has already started in the Netherlands, however it is still a very sensitive subject.
