Briefly explain the term Euthanasia? What are the ethical issues/challenges in euthanasia? What is the difference between euthanasia and suicide?
Below are my answers. Please help me with the B/second part of the question.
A. Euthanasia is the termination of a very sick person's life in order to relieve them of their suffering.
B. ?
C. Deffirences between euthanasia and suicide
euthanasia "refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering." Suicide "is the act of intentionally causing one's own death" for any reason at all. Euthanasia is not necessarily a reflexive act; one can euthanize someone else —one euthanizes animals, for example— while suicide must be self-directed. It is technically possible even to euthanize someone against their will; although justice systems tend to treat this as murder, there are significant exceptions
