They give you a lethal injection or they give you pain-relieving pills. It is painless. Being put into a medically induced coma is also a form of euthanasia. One by one your organs begin to fail. That can be quite painful. Suicide or euthanasia by overdosing on pills doesn't work most of the time. Pills now a days have a chemical in them that reacts with the acid in your stomacy if you take too many. As a result, you puke them up. There are many ways to euthanize. Some of the more common ways in the recent past: * Suffocation with a plastic bag, most of the time (but not all of the time) drugging the patient first. * Gassing them to death with carbon monoxide: not even approved for putting down a dog or executing a convicted murderer * Lethal injection, but families are not usually allowed to watch because of the effects of this poison Pills are administered in cases of assisted suicide, not euthanasia. The difference is that when the patient takes pills prescribed by a doctor, they are ending their own life. Many people believe that legalizing full-fledged euthanasia will stop the use of plastic bags and carbon monoxide, but that will simply legitimize their use. Terminally ill patients generally do not die an unbearably painful death. Modern technology has made the passing of millions much less painful than anytime in the past.

Many patients are able to live out their few final days in a drug-induced stupor, relieving them of most pain while leaving them cognizant enough to interact with family. There are cases in which medicine cannot alleviate the majority of the patient's pain, and these are used by proponents of legalizing euthanasia to support their position.

There are two types of euthanasia.

One is "passive" which means that no direct action is used to hasten death but no means of prolonging life is used either. So, this may include withdrawing food and fluids from a patient, and using a Do Not Resuscitate order. Also included in this category is the use of medication which cumulatively could end life but which is given with another purpose. An example of that would be using morphine to control the pain of a seriously ill or dying person. Morphine will control the pain, but it also slows the breathing and after a few doses, breathing will probably stop.

The other form of euthanasia is "active". This means hastening death by a deliberate direct action carried out with the purpose of causing death. Having a sick old dog put to sleep by a veterinarian is an example of active euthanasia. Active euthanasia carried out on humans is illegal in most countries.
