There are different forms of Euthanasia, each are differently punished by law in most countries. Involuntary Euthanasia is considered murder in every country, and is punished to the same degree as any other form of murder. Involuntary euthanasia means as the name implies, to end someones life against that person's wishes. Passive Euthanasia is what is encountered in most countries where some form of euthanasia is legal. Passive euthanasia means to end someone life (usually on that person's request, but sometimes on request of next of kin/family or a legal request/will when a person is not capable of requesting euthanasia) but without personally causing their death, examples of passive euthanasia are removing the feeding probe from a person who is in a persistent vegetative state or to prescribe lethal drugs to a person but not personally adminastering them. Active euthanasia means to personally help end someone's life (usually on that person's request, but sometimes on request of next of kin/family or a legal request/will when a person is not capable of requesting euthanasia) by personaly providing the means to do so, such as dispensing lethal drugs to a person. Active euthanasia and involuntary euthanasia are both illegal in the UK and have always been so, although there has been legislation proposed in the House of Lords in the early 1930's to legalise euthanasia but it never came through.

This law was enacted in 1957.

What type of euthanasia is legal in Canada?
== If you go by strict definitions, then passive euthanasia is legal in Canada. Passive euthanasia is when one stops providing treatment, even if it means death. Sometimes, it is better to let nature take its course, once giving treatment goes from retaining precious life to prolonging a suffering death. Most, if not all, countries realize this and allow patients to refuse medical treatment. In the general sense, active & non-active euthanasia (aka euthanasia and assisted suicide) are not yet legal in Canada. == Technically it is not. However living wills and a few Canadian charter rights do always contradict the matter.

Physician assisted suicide is when a doctor administers an injection to a patient with their consent, which kills them. Allowing a patient to die is where a ventilator and other equipment is disconnected from a patient and they pass away because they are too sick to live without the equipment turned on. An example might be where a brain dead person is kept alive by a ventilator because they can't breath on their own since the brain is dead.
