At least where I live, that is not an issue.  I don't think that there 
is anything which could help me which is illegal.  And even in countries 
where euthanasia is not legal, in the case of terminally ill patients it 
is allowed to give enough morphium or whatever that the patient dies as 
a side effect of pain relief so to speak.  It's really, really not an 
issue.
