There is no difference, "Euthanasia" is just the Greek word of mercy killing!

Suicide means to kill oneself. Euthanasia is committed by another person.
non active euthanasia is the same as assisted suiside :)active euthanasia is just plain old suiside :)
It is the same thing.
Euthanasia is used mainly in animals, and it is a humane way of killing them to stop them suffering.
Euthanasia (as defined as a third party ending the life of another) is illegal throughout the US, mostly under state general homicide laws. Therefor, you cannot obtain a "euthanasia certificate" anywhere in the US. The only form of euthanasia legal anywhere in the US is assisted suicide, and even this is only in a few (as in 3 or fewer) states. The major difference between this and general euthanasia is that it is the patient taking the action ending their life, not someone else.
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.
With assisted suicide you have the docotors help, often times a shot. Euthanasia is the same thing, but it is used for older people wh may have breathign problems and ask to be killed. Euthanasia is a nice way of saying assisted suicied.
Laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are in place to prevent abuse and to protect people from unscrupulous doctors and others. They are not, and never have been, intended to make anyone suffer
this is usually a health/ disease related medical death. Euthanasia is suicide that is performed as a medical procedure, usually because the patient has a terminal disease and the only other choice is a long, drawn out, painful death. this is because otherwise the patient will die, no matter what, and the doctor gets it over with.
difference between as on and as at
