Not exactly. Euthanasia is used to put someone out of their misery. Someone who is in a coma is not suffering. Sometimes a comatose person may have respirators and feeding tubes removed and are allowed to die. This is normally done when a person has been brain dead or comatose for many years.
Yes mercy killing is another way of saying euthanasia.
It is not called euthanasia if the decision to end a life is made without the consent of the individual, or if it is done for purposes other than relieving suffering, such as for financial gain or convenience. euthanasia is a voluntary act done with the agreement of the person who is suffering.
There is no difference, "Euthanasia" is just the Greek word of mercy killing!

Yes. Euthanasia involves killing somebody (more specifically, mercy killing - killing a person because he is suffering). The alternative is not to kill him.
Suicide means to kill oneself. Euthanasia is committed by another person.

Euthanasia.
because euthanasia is also a kind of killing even though it is called "mercy killing". the fifth commandments said that "you shall not kill", so that's why the euthanasia is opposite to the fifth commandment...
No. Sterilization is disabling an organism from reproduction. Euthanasia is killing an organism already in existance.
