Yes, but with safeguards in place. A set criteria that prospective euthanasia cases would have to fulfill.
Like others have said, I have no problems with euthanasia for someone who is terminally ill or whose quality of life is severely diminished as opposed to a regular healthy person. I'm thinking of quadriplegics and similar cases.
The only thing I actually fear about euthanasia is:
i) People of questionable mental health being given the go ahead
ii) Governments/hospitals using euthanasia as a way to get rid of undesirables in a kind of under-the-radar legalized murder
Edit: I also think it should be entirely up to the person involved, as long as they satisfy any other legal requirements.
Nobody is perfect.
I am nobody.
Therefore, I am perfect.
