It does seem very slapdash and unregulated. Part of why I would have a lot of concerns about euthanasia, or indeed assisted suicide as a social policy is precisely because of the risk of both murder and undue influence. The latter would especially be the case in an Asian country, where pressure on people to not be a burden on their families would be very great.
