    I personally neither agree with euthanasia or would try to prevent it. However, I'm pretty sure that anyone who does agree would say that it should be allowed in cases where whatever physical condition the person has is "certain" to never be cured. You can't say the same about someone's depression.
    Furthermore, unless I'm mistaken, when euthanasia is allowed, the person who makes the decision (either the to-be-euthanised person themselves or someone else) must have a sound and clear mind and no ill will toward the person. Can you say that someone who is depressed fits that description?
