So thats the reason its illegal in america... Actually in britain the profit motive isnt really there but its still illegal.
Im really confused on this subject too but i think that if a person is terminaly ill and in tons of pain they should be able to get euthanized, not too long ago my grandmother was dying of cancer and suffering very badly but she was trying to hard to cling to life and she didnt want to die so i guess it really just depends on if the person requests it or not, it's really not fair to make somebody suffer like that but at the same time its nature playing its part you know, we all hope for a quick painless death but some of us just get the short end of the stick.
