The euthanasia movement, particularly in the context of voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide, has evolved significantly over the years, with various countries and states enacting their own laws. In some places, it has been legalized under strict regulations, while in others, it remains illegal. Ongoing debates continue about ethical, moral, and legal implications, reflecting diverse societal views on the right to die. The movement's future will likely depend on changing public perceptions and legal frameworks.

What year did euthanasia become illegal in Britain?
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. Passive euthanasia is also illegal in the UK, however prescribing fatal drugs to treat pain even if the outcome will be death, is allowed by law if death was not the main intended reason for prescribing the drugs.

Each type requires the explicit consent of the individual, emphasizing the voluntary aspect of the decision.
