    Euthanasia and its categories

    Euthanasia and its categories
  • Derived from a Greek word, euthanasia means "good death". Ending one's life deliberately so as to avoid pain is known as euthanasia.

    It branches out into several classifications - Voluntary, non-voluntary, involuntary, passive and active.

    When the patient consents, it is deemed as voluntary euthanasia. When he/she doesn't, it is called non-voluntary. Involuntary euthanasia is that which is carried out against the patient's will.

  • Information

    Active and passive euthanasia

  • The above categories further branch out into active/passive euthanasia. Using fatal substances (for example, a lethal injection) to induce death is known as active euthanasia whereas passive euthanasia involves the withdrawal of factors essential for survival (treatments, antibiotics, etc.).

    Reasons for her rejection

  • Laxmi said, "I am not able to practice because I'm being told that because I'm physically challenged, I won't be able to work properly, won't be able to climb up the stairs. They are more sure than me that I wouldn't be able to work."
