WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF EUTHANASIA?

1) VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA: Refers to when the person who is killed has requested to be killed. In this case the patient is fully aware of this decision. The patient is given the freedom to choose between living and dying.

2) NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA: This is when the person who is killed made no request to be executed. In this case the victim is not aware regarding their execution. The execution is performed against the patient will and wish. Hence they are not granted the freedom to choose either to continue living or end their life.

3) INVOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA: When the person who is killed made an expressed wish to the contrary. In this scenario the patient is aware regarding their execution and they in turn express their wish to continue living.

4) ASSISTED SUICIDE: Someone provides an individual with the information, guidance and means to take their own life, with the intention that it will be used for this purpose. When it is the doctor who helps another person to kill themselves, then that is referred to as, 'physician assisted suicide'.

5) EUTHANASIA BY ACTION: Intentionally causing a person’s death by performing an action such as by giving lethal injection.

6) EUTHANASIA BY OMMISSION: Intentionally causing death by not providing necessary and ordinary care or food and water
