Euthanasia, derived from two words from greek; eu meaning “good”, and thanatos meaning “death”, has disputed meanings, though the most common definition being the assisted suicide of a terminally ill patient in immense pain who explicitly requests their life to be cut short. The reasons for the disputations are because some people define the term ‘euthanasia’ to not only include the voluntary side, but to also include the involuntary side. ... On the other hand, involuntary euthanasia is when the patient say, is in a coma for a long period and the doctors have reasons to believe the patient will never wake. ...
Along with these two sides of the single term euthanasia, go a few others to go into more description and to give curtain situations distinctive names. The first of them being Passive Euthanasia which describes the hastening of death of the patient by changing or removing curtain medical equipment such as life support, and letting nature take its course.
