active euthanasia

Read a random definition: continuous-adverse-use principle

A quick definition of active euthanasia:

Active euthanasia is when someone helps another person to die because they are suffering from an incurable disease or condition that causes them a lot of pain. This is sometimes called mercy killing. It is illegal in many places because it is seen as a form of murder. However, in some countries, like the Netherlands, it is legal. Active euthanasia is different from assisted suicide because in active euthanasia, the person helping the other person not only provides the means of death but also carries out the final act that causes death.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Active euthanasia is the act of intentionally causing the death of a person who is suffering from an incurable disease or condition, usually for reasons of mercy. This is done by a healthcare practitioner who not only provides the means of death but also carries out the final death-causing act.

For example, if a patient is in extreme pain and suffering from a terminal illness, a doctor may administer a lethal injection to end their life. This is considered active euthanasia.

Active euthanasia is a controversial topic and is illegal in many countries. However, some countries, such as the Netherlands, have legalized it under certain circumstances.
