Perhaps glibly tossing out a country with a strongly collectivist ethos that sees the government provide fully-funded, universal care for those with long term illness, as an example of why voluntary euthenasia would work well in a country where "Devil take the hindmost" appears to be the approach is not the best. I'm generally a fan of voluntary euthenasia. But pretending there's no scope for abuse, especially in a country where the single biggest cause of personal bankruptcy is illness, is at best hopelessly naive.
