The Catholic Church considers euthanasia, as well as abortion, a form of murder and it is not permitted. Only God can end a life.

What kind of euthanasia does the Catholic Church condone?

They're not for it and generally believe that by allowing someone to die and escape further misery and pain we are playing god even though keeping them alive with medical intervention when they are dying could also be considered playing god. Some believe that God chooses when you die as god knows when you've learnt your message. Why would a kind god want anyone to suffer unnecessarily though? Medical intervention is not required... A patient can refuse treatment even if it means they will die.
