Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending life, nominally to end pain and suffering.
Euthanasia is categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary:[1]
- Voluntary euthanasia is legal in a growing number of countries.
- Assisted suicide, also known as assisted dying or medical aid in dying, is suicide undertaken with the aid of another person.
- Non-voluntary euthanasia (patient's consent unavailable) is legal in some countries under certain limited conditions, in both active and passive forms.
- Involuntary euthanasia (without asking consent or against the patient's will) is illegal in all countries and is usually considered murder.
