Not sure really but from a vet point of view ( I work at a vets) it's not just the stress of PTS animals, it's the stress of consoling the owners, working upwards of 18 hour days, unlike doctors having to treat a variety of different species.

Contrary to popular belief you are treating the people 85% of the time!
The same as doctors we have access to a wide variety of "Useful" drugs.
Marriages suffer because your time is spent on other people, kids miss out because you're too dam tired to interact with them at the end of a working day.
Yes you do become hardened about euthanising animals but a lot of them really get to you, I've quite often come out of a consult room or gone home and cried my eyes out and that's good, because the day it doesn't affect you is the day you should quit the job!

I think euthanasia in humans is dangerous ground for politicians to consider, personally I think the affect on doctors, nurses and all those involved will be far reaching and something they will AND should never have to deal with.
