Euthanasia-is it the moment?

i just happened to read a few articles on euthanasia..........the practise of killing terminally ill people on thier will,also known as assisted suicide. till today i was of the opinion that people who can no longer live a normal life and are just waiting for death should be allowed to choose the moment of their death instead of forcing them to prolong their agony.their pain and sufferring is something we cannot even imagine.and i believed that it should be legalized. but while browsing through some stats and experiences of people i am now forced to supprt the contrary. Do you know in Netherlands where it is legalized more than 10% deaths are due to euthanasia and this provision is being more misused than used.the population above 80 is getting scarce.A doctor whose cancer patient was recovering quite well suddenly discovers the next morning that that patient had been given the lethal injection that night. such reounts have made me ponder over the fact how will India take it if its allowed and how many of such deaths are after the consent of the patient?
