Euthanasia and lethal injection are related but distinct concepts. Euthanasia refers to the practice of intentionally ending a person's life to relieve suffering, often in cases of terminal illness, and can be administered through various methods, including lethal injection. Lethal injection is a specific method of execution used primarily in capital punishment cases, involving a series of drugs to induce death. While both involve the act of causing death, euthanasia is typically voluntary and aimed at alleviating suffering, whereas lethal injection is a state-sanctioned method of execution.

In most jurisdictions that allow lethal injection as a form of capital punishment, it is not an option for individuals who voluntarily seek it. Lethal injection is typically reserved for those who have been convicted of serious crimes and sentenced to death following a legal process. However, there are some cases where individuals may seek assisted dying or euthanasia, which is separate from capital punishment and is only legal in certain areas under specific circumstances. Always consult local laws for the most accurate information.
