How could anyone ever know for sure whether or not I wanted him to die because I loved him and hated seeing him suffer, or because I wanted his money? This is the only thing that gives me pause about euthanasia- it would be so easy to abuse it.
This is easily solved. Inheritance is forfeited for the comfort of the loved one. After the fact, the person can roll a ten sided die to determine what percentage of the estate is actually divided, the balance will be taken as tax.
The fact is the vast majority of people in this situation don't have this concern. Not everyone has a rich uncle. In my experience, savings are usually depleted as a result of dealing with the malady.
