Preferred term

euthanasia  

Definition(s)

  • Euthanasia (also known as mercy killing) is commonly defined as the act of killing or allowing the death of hopelessly sick or injured individuals in a relatively painless way for reasons of mercy. The use of euthanasia to end human life has been broadly condemned in Western societies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Deviance; Euthanasia]
