Euthanasia, with regard to people, typically refers to a doctor performing a mercy killing on a very sick person. An example of this would be Dr. Kevorkian. He was a physician who spent time in jail for humanely assisting in the suicides of terminally ill people who had consented to the procedure.

What is assited euthanasia?
Assisted euthanasia usually means that one person is helping another person die, in some cases, commit suicide. Dr. Jack Kervorkian was a famous physcian who went to prison for "helping" his terminally ill patients die. It is illegal in many parts of the world, including America, to assist someone with death. In a lot of cases, the nurse or doctor will inject a patient with a lot of pain medicine, and this will kill them. There are some parts of the UK where they actually have clinics that people can go to in order to die, and it is not illegal (Germany, I think? Switzerland?).
