Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intractable physical suffering refers to pain or suffering that is resistant to treatment or management, which is often considered a justifiable reason for euthanasia. While other reasons such as chronic diseases may also lead to significant pain and suffering, they may have treatments available that can alleviate some of the symptoms. However, in cases where someone is experiencing intractable physical suffering despite attempts to manage it, euthanasia may be seen as a compassionate choice to end their suffering.
