In involuntary euthanasia,a doctor __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In involuntary euthanasia, the patient's consent is not obtained, and the doctor ends the patient's life by some medical means. This is different from voluntary euthanasia, where the patient requests the ending of their life, and the doctor provides the means for the patient to do so. Withholding or withdrawing treatment at the patient's request (A) is known as passive euthanasia, and administering a lethal dose of drugs at the patient's request (B) is known as assisted suicide or voluntary euthanasia. Prescribing a lethal dose of drugs for the patient to take on their own (D) is also assisted suicide, not involuntary euthanasia.
