Best Answer

No. Assisted suicide involves the patient killing themselves. A medical coma does not involve death, so they are two separate issues.

What is the meaning of 'euthanasia'?

Euthanasia means a gentle and easy death. There are 4 types of euthanasia: Assisted suicide- eg. Giving someone the drugs or gun to kill themselves but not actually killing the person yourself. Voluntary euthanasia- Helping kill someone who has asked you to kill them, it is only voluntary if you actually kill them, if they kill themselves it is assisted suicide. Non voluntary euthanasia- Where you kill the person when they haven't asked you to but you think it is right. eg. if the person is in a coma and might never wake up and the parent kill them. Passive euthanasia- where you stop giving the person treatment or food and water. Only if they have asked you to.
