Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide

Euthanasia involves intentionally ending a person's life to relieve unbearable suffering, often with a doctor's intervention, and can be voluntary or involuntary. Assisted suicide occurs when a person receives help—such as medications or guidance—from someone else to end their own life, usually due to terminal illness or severe pain. Both practices raise complex ethical, legal, and moral questions about autonomy, dignity, and the role of medical professionals. Laws and acceptance vary worldwide, with some regions permitting certain forms under strict conditions, while others prohibit them entirely.
