Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The AMA supports the notion of "allowing the natural process of dying" (passive euthanasia) but opposes physicians' involvement in active euthanasia, which involves administering a lethal drugs to intentionally end someone's life. The AMA's Code of Medical Ethics states that "physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer, would be difficult or impossible to control, and would pose serious societal risks."
