Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a person’s life to relieve them of pain and suffering, typically in cases of terminal illness or severe, debilitating conditions. It can be classified into two main types: voluntary euthanasia, where a person gives explicit consent to end their life, and involuntary euthanasia, where the decision is made without the patient’s consent, often in cases where they are unable to communicate their wishes. Euthanasia raises significant ethical, legal, and moral questions about the value of life, patient autonomy, and the role of medical professionals. In some jurisdictions, euthanasia is legal and regulated, while in others, it remains illegal and can be considered a form of murder or assisted suicide. The term is derived from the Greek words “eu,” meaning good or well, and “thanatos,” meaning death, which together suggest a “good death.”
