Test Your Knowledge on Euthanasia

Health Quiz reviewed by Dr. Hena Mariam, BDS on Aug 24, 2023


Introduction

Euthanasia, which means "good death," is a controversial topic. It involves speeding up the death of a patient to relieve their suffering. There are two types of euthanasia: active and passive euthanasia. Active euthanasia is when a doctor deliberately ends a patient's life, while passive euthanasia is when treatment is withheld.

Assisted suicide and physician-assisted suicide are different from euthanasia. People may consider euthanasia if they have terminal illnesses and experience unbearable pain or other physical and emotional difficulties. Laws on euthanasia vary by country, with some allowing it under certain conditions (1).
