nonvoluntary euthanasia

Read a random definition: coram non judice

A quick definition of nonvoluntary euthanasia:

Nonvoluntary euthanasia is when someone is killed or allowed to die without their consent 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 and can be considered a type of murder. In some countries, like the Netherlands, it is legal under certain circumstances. Nonvoluntary euthanasia is different from voluntary euthanasia, which is when someone chooses to end their own life because they are suffering and cannot be cured.

A more thorough explanation:

Nonvoluntary euthanasia is the act of ending the life of a person who is suffering from an incurable disease or condition, without their consent. This is usually done for reasons of mercy, to relieve the person's pain and suffering.

For example, if a person is in a coma and is not able to make decisions for themselves, their family or healthcare provider may decide to end their life through nonvoluntary euthanasia.

Nonvoluntary euthanasia is different from voluntary euthanasia, which is when a person requests to end their own life due to their suffering. It is also different from assisted suicide, which is when a person is provided with the means to end their own life but carries out the act themselves.

Nonvoluntary euthanasia is a controversial topic and is illegal in many countries. It is often seen as a form of murder or manslaughter, and can have legal consequences for those who carry it out.
