<human>: Around the dinner table tonight at a restaurant, in general post dinner conversation, my Dad, having had rather a few glasses of dessert wine filled us in on the circumstances surrounding the death of a  close relative some months ago.

She was 85, and terminally ill. She had been removed from hospital to spend her last days at home. 
She was rarely conscious and when she was, she was delirious and in excruciating pain from the fluid on her lungs.

Her daughter  (my father's cousin) approached my father, a highly experienced and respected doctor about the possibility of 'putting her  mother out of her pain'.
After some deliberation and careful planning to avoid suspicion, my father did as she wished and overdosed the dying relative on morphine (which she had already been prescribed for pain management). I didn't know this and was a bit taken aback by it. 

He proceeded to tell us that this is common practice among doctors in the case of terminal and, in particular, elderly patients for whom the last few days of life will potentially be more painful than their worth. He also went on to admit that this wasn't the first time he'd 'given someone a little too much morphine on purpose'. This time at least, the immediate family had requested the procedure, despite it being illegal in my country of residence.

 

What is your country's law regarding euthanasia? Do you agree with it?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Learned that my father, a doctor, illegally euthanased a family member at the request of the immediate family. What is your standpoint on the issue of euthanasia?
