EUTHANASIA is a painless humane termination of life.The decision regarding it depends on medical,financial,ethical,religious and also a legal consideration.Mostly i would not consider euthanasia as one cannot end their life for any reason.But for some reasons people will be willing for the right to kill themselves.For example unbearable pain by a person cannot by cured by any drug or medication will be willing for euthanasia.Another reason would be right to commit suicide for which people who are living with no hopes ,either abondoned by family ,children or parents .People also should not be forced to stay alive as euthanasia is legal in few countries.The discussions are some before the medical procedure that needs to be discussed and considered fully before the final decision is made.

In euthanasia,the responsibility for overseeing the death rests with the person other than the one who wishes to end their life.In assisted suicide,the assistance may be provided by the another but it is the person who wishes to die who has the responsibility to bring about their own death.
