∙ 15y agoEuthanasia is kind of like the process that one takes when one wants to put a dog to sleep, but for humans. It is like assisted suicide. It has been a controversial case in recent years because doctors have lost their accreditation by assisting patients in killing themselves, like in the Cruzan by Cruzan vs. Dir. of Missouri, it deals with the right to die and the legality of it all.

How do you prevent euthanasia?
Euthanasia is not a condition or symptom. Euthanasia is the process by which sodium pentatol or some form of similar drug is injected into the bloodstream in very large doses, so as to purposely cause the death of the individual. This is what Veterinarians do to pets when they are being "put down" humanely. It is also the process used to humanely execute prisoners on death row in some states. Hope this helps. It was hard to tell what you meant by your question, as I think you are confused by the term "euthanasia" and what it pertains to. I supposed one would prevent euthanasia by not overdosing on medications they have been prescribed. Always take medications as directed by your doctor. never self medicate.

What does british law say about euthanasia?
In the UK, The Suicide Act 1961 defines assisting someone in the act of suicide to be a criminal offence. 'Euthanasia' itself is not a legal term in the UK as there are no laws relating to it, therefore cases of euthanasia are treated as either 'manslaughter' or 'murder' depending on the specific circumstances.
