Lets talk properly about Euthanasia

2
DEFINITION
  • The intentional killing by act or omission of a
    dependent human being for his or her alleged

    death is not intended, it is not an act of
    euthanasia.

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

4
Non-voluntary euthanasia is
  • When the person who is killed made no request and
    gave no consent.

5
Involuntary euthanasia is
  • When the person who is killed made an expressed
    wish to the contrary.

6
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.

7
Physician Assisted Suicide
  • When it is a doctor who helps another person to
    kill themselves.

8
Euthanasia By Action
  • Intentionally causing a person's death by
    performing an action such as by giving a lethal
    injection.

9

  • Intentionally causing death by not providing
    necessary and ordinary (usual and customary) care
    or food and water.
