I believe the one place where it is legal is Holland, and there are reported cases where the euthanasia was at the behest of someone else and not the victim.

If it costs more to treat someone than to kill them, or if the cost of care will eat inheritance, the patients will be put under pressure to opt for euthanasia, if someone does not go for that option for them.

And that is precisely what has been happening
