Full-blown euthanasia is a "natural" part of any socialist state, because the only way a socialist state can achieve its utopian goals is by eradicating the natural uncertainties of human life that revolve around birth, sickness, and death. This is why, for example, there is no logical inconsistency in a state allowing (or even mandating) abortion and euthanasia while at the same time providing inoculations, prohibiting smoking, and requiring people to wear seatbelts.
The ultimate goal of a socialist state is not to provide for people's needs through the natural course of their lives -- it's to do so while ensuring that their lives are lived in such a way that economic decisions can be made with minimal uncertainties. The ideal socialist state is one in which everyone lives a life free of all illness, but then drops dead instantly at the age of 80.

It sounds like a good ideal to me, and I'm not even a RINO. If my sudden death at 80 is due to too much sex, so much the better. Of course the ideal ain't going to happen.
Even while Europe faces problems because of decreasing population due to high abortion rates and increasingly euthanasia.
Socialism is a suicidal ideology. It's natural progression is to destroy itself through the slaughter of its adherents.
