What are people's thoughts on euthanasia?

People are generally for or againt euthanasia, and I'd like to know what people think. I, myself, am torn between pros and cons when seeing how people react so differently when the event actually occurs - when a decision has to be made. What are your thoughts on it, one way or another?

Nov 14 2011: Estrella, I thought I would pass on two links - the first is a current case in Canada and the second refers to an earlier case. A distinction is also made between "assisted suicide" and euthanasia.
