Euthanasia
Medically assisted death (often referred to as assisted suicide). Euthanasia is among the most controversial of practices and is currently illegal in most countries. Often described as intentional killing for the benefit of the patient, euthanasia can be achieved by an act (providing lethal drugs) or omission (failing to provide life-sustaining treatment).
