Euthanasia

(verb)

The act of putting a person or animal to death painlessly or allowing death if suffering from an incurable and painful condition.

Examples of Euthanasia in the following topics:

  • Privacy Rights and the Right to Die

    • Euthanasia is illegal in all states of the United States.
    • The key difference between euthanasia and PAD is who administers the lethal dose of medication.
    • Euthanasia requires the physician or another third party to administer the medication, whereas PAD requires the patient to self-administer the medication and to determine whether and when to do this.
    • There is a wide range of public opinion about euthanasia and the right-to-die movement in the United States, which reflects their religious and cultural diversity.
    • During the past 30 years, public opinion research shows that views on euthanasia tend to correlate with religious affiliation and culture, though not gender.
  • Value Clusters

    • People who embrace these values also reject divorce, abortion, euthanasia, and suicide.
    • Divorce, abortion, euthanasia, and suicide are seen as relatively acceptable.
  • Deciphering the Conversation

    • For example, a book on euthanasia published in 1978 probably isn't the best choice for a paper about end-of-life issues today.
  • Social Regulation

    • In the United States, the term 'social policy' may be used to refer to abortion and the regulation of its practice, euthanasia, homosexuality, the rules surrounding issues of marriage, divorce, adoption, the legal status of recreational drugs, and the legal status of prostitution.
  • The Importance of Reliability

    • Nor would the Wikipedia entry for "euthanasia" be an appropriate place to look for information, since, while it can be useful for collecting colloquial information, Wikipedia is certainly not a scholarly source.
  • Ethical Guidelines for Human Research

    • The Nuremberg Trials were a series of 12 trials of men accused of committing war crimes and atrocities during World War II; among those on trial were doctors who had committed crimes against humanity such as involuntary human experimentation, involuntary sterilizations, and mass murder under the guise of euthanasia.
