Definition of Euthanasia (Good Death)

"painless inducement of a quick death".

This approach fails to properly define euthanasia, as it leaves open a number of possible actions which would meet the requirements of the definition, but would not be seen as euthanasia.

Classification of Euthanasia

According to whether a person gives informed consent into three types:

Voluntary: When the patient brings about his or her own death with the assistance of a physician, the term assisted suicide is often used instead.

Non-voluntary: Euthanasia conducted where the consent of the patient is unavailable.

Involuntary: (Murder) Euthanasia conducted against the will of the patient.
