Just as long as its voluntary... but how can you ever assure that? That there's no coercion, temporary depression, etc. So, you can't assure that... The real question is why are governments so keen to legalise euthanasia? My view is its about population management. It eases the expenses, clears out the dead wood, etc. Governments really do think it is right that they should choose how long their citizens are around for, even if they say otherwise - its about control. I don't even think it's the only strategy they have to manage the population, nor even the most common one.

My view is that nobody wants to prosecute someone for helping their terminally ill, seriously suffering parent/child/sister for ending their life.

  That's not what the Canadian system is, though. The state kills people, and not just the terminally ill. There is lots of room for coercion, and more than a few disabled people have stories of someone trying to persuade them to consider MAiD even though they have never expressed any interest.

    The system having flaws does not make me believe that politicians created it as population management.
