The checks and balances for Euthanasia have to be tremendous so that no politician or lobbyist can lay their dirty hands on it. I guess for some health insurers it could be a wet dream come true if allowed ot run unchecked.

That is not an apt comparison.  There is a significant difference between someone having control over his or her own body, and someone else deciding to kill the person.  In fact, those are complete opposites.

Indeed, that is one of the critical factors - the sound mind and resolute determination of the individual. What Hitler employed was not euthanasia. It was 'mass fucking murder'.
