While practically no-one in current society would tolerate involuntary euthanasia, 'mercy killings' and 'assisted suicides', where the person killed consents to his or her fate, are the topic of heated international debate.

An important difference in UK law exists between active euthanasia and passive euthanasia. Since the Bland ruling of 1993, 'assisted suicides', which involve 'omissions' that are mainly removing life-saving care are not illegal. However, actively taking action to end another's life is illegal, even with consent.
