Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active euthanasia is a deliberate act intended to end another person's life, such as administering a lethal dose of medication. Withdrawing or withholding treatment (option A) is known as passive euthanasia. While active euthanasia is currently illegal in Canada (option C), the legality varies by country and jurisdiction. "Letting nature take its course" (option D) is not a definition of euthanasia, but rather a phrase used to describe a decision to not intervene medically and allow the natural outcome of a disease or condition.
