Euthanasia What is euthanasia?
 People have different ideas about what euthanasia is. Today euthanasia means something different. The biggest difference is that now euthanasia is about a person killing another person, rather than whether or not their death was a good one. But if it only about killing someone, euthanasia would mean the same thing as murder. So people who talk about euthanasia say that it involves more than just killing someone.
