I have a total solution: If a patient asks for painless quick death, we should ask "Would you rather take this here Million Dollars and then rot slowly to death".

[timonoko]

Wait. I have another solution: "Those who die before their god-ordained time, loose all their wealth and die poor".

But I think this was used in medieval times, at least they did lose their advantageous spot in the graveyard.

That sounds nice, where do the million dollars come from?

[timonoko]

In the Nordic countries the obligatory minimum care of terminal cancer patient is often quoted as 100,000 euros. So this sum might be cumulative and we start from the 100,000.

The Nordic countries have a much more social government which requires a much higher level of social trust than we have in the North American countries.

Erh. What? You should point out that if give the patient 100,000, and the minimal terminal care, the government loses 200,000.

But I have solution. Now that the patient is rich, we can tax him more. In Finnish terminal homes they can take 90% of government-paid pension.
