Definition of Euthanasia The intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. The key word here is "intentional". If death is not intended, it is not an act of euthanasia.

Definitions Voluntary euthanasia: When the person who is killed has requested to be killed. .

Definitions Non-voluntary euthanasia: When the person who is killed made no request and gave no consent.

Definitions Involuntary euthanasia: When the person who is killed made an expressed wish to the contrary.

Definitions Assisted suicide: Someone provides an individual with the information, guidance, and means to take his or her own life with the intention that they will be used for this purpose.

Definitions Physician Assisted Suicide: When it is a doctor who helps another person to kill themselves.

Definitions Euthanasia By Action: Intentionally causing a person's death by performing an action such as by giving a lethal injection.

Definitions Euthanasia By Omission: Intentionally causing death by not providing necessary and ordinary (usual and customary) care or food and water.

What Euthanasia is NOT There is no euthanasia unless the death is intentionally caused by what was done or not done. Thus, some medical actions that are often labeled "passive euthanasia" are no form of euthanasia, since the intention to take life is lacking.

These are NOT euthanasia: Not commencing treatment that would not provide a benefit to the patient. Withdrawing treatment that has been shown to be ineffective, too burdensome or is unwanted. The giving of high doses of pain-killers that may endanger life, when they have been shown to be necessary.
