passive euthanasia

Read a random definition: carveout

A quick definition of passive euthanasia:

Passive euthanasia is when a person is allowed to die naturally because they have an incurable disease or condition that causes them pain and suffering. This is done out of mercy and to relieve the person's suffering. It is different from active euthanasia, which is when someone helps to cause the person's death. Passive euthanasia is sometimes legal, but it can also be considered a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Passive euthanasia is a type of euthanasia where a person is allowed to die naturally, without any medical intervention to keep them alive. This is usually done when a person is suffering from an incurable disease or condition that causes them a lot of pain and discomfort.

For example, if a person is in a coma and is not expected to recover, their family may choose to stop any medical treatment that is keeping them alive, such as a ventilator or feeding tube. This would be considered passive euthanasia.

Passive euthanasia is different from active euthanasia, which involves taking deliberate steps to end a person's life, such as administering a lethal injection. Passive euthanasia is generally considered more acceptable from a moral and legal standpoint, as it allows a person to die naturally without any direct intervention.
