A quick definition of dyathanasia:

Dyathanasia is when someone is allowed to die naturally by not giving them treatments or interventions that could prolong their life. This is also called passive mercy killing. It is different from euthanasia, which is when someone actively takes steps to end a person's life.

The Dyer Act is a law that makes it illegal to transport or sell a stolen car across state lines. It was first passed in 1919 and is also known as the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dyathanasia refers to the act of allowing death to occur naturally by withholding, terminating, or not offering life-prolonging treatments or intervention. It is also known as passive mercy killing. This is different from euthanasia, which involves actively ending a person's life to relieve their suffering.

Example: If a person is terminally ill and in a lot of pain, they may choose to stop receiving treatment and allow their illness to take its natural course. This is an example of dyathanasia.

Explanation: In this example, the person is not actively seeking to end their life, but rather choosing to let nature take its course. They are not being given any life-prolonging treatments or interventions, and their death is a result of their illness progressing naturally.

Additional Example: If a person is on life support and their family decides to remove the machines keeping them alive, this is also an example of dyathanasia.

Explanation: In this example, the family is choosing to withhold life-prolonging treatments and allow the person to pass away naturally. They are not actively ending the person's life, but rather allowing them to die without any interventions.
