Euthanasia

Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a person's life to relieve suffering, typically in cases of terminal illness or severe pain. It can be voluntary, where a patient requests it, or non-voluntary, when the patient cannot consent. The process often involves administering a lethal substance by a medical professional. Euthanasia raises ethical and legal debates, with supporters arguing for individual autonomy and relief from suffering, while opponents often cite moral concerns and the sanctity of life. Laws regarding euthanasia vary widely around the world, with some countries allowing it under strict regulations and others prohibiting it entirely.
