>will euthanasia become another "solution" for those who can't afford proper care and treatment?
Yes, and I would argue that despite the awful connotations, this is not a bad thing.
It’s simply a fact of life that some people have more than others. Sometimes it’s not fair, but it’s still way better than any other social/economic alternative. And those who have more can afford better treatment, that is expensive.
So, assuming we can agree on this, would it not be better to offer some solution, even if not ideal? Remember, it may not be something that you would ever opt for, maybe because you have the means for better solutions, but for many this is a blessing compared to their only alternative which is to suffer. As sad as it may sound.
