euthanasia methods

Euthanasia methods aim to relieve suffering by intentionally ending a person's or animal's life. In humans, commonly used methods include lethal injection, which administers medications to induce unconsciousness and stop the heart, or assisted dying where medications are taken by the individual. For animals, euthanasia often involves an injection of a barbiturate or other anesthetic that quickly causes unconsciousness and stops the heart, ensuring a painless and peaceful death. The choice of method depends on ethical, legal, and medical considerations, always prioritizing minimizing pain and distress.
