Euthanasia is often considered a crime due to ethical, moral, and legal concerns surrounding the deliberate ending of a person's life. Many societies view it as a violation of the sanctity of life, and laws typically classify it as homicide. Additionally, there are fears about potential abuses, such as coercion or the devaluation of vulnerable individuals, which can complicate the moral landscape. Consequently, legal frameworks in various countries reflect these concerns, leading to strict prohibitions against euthanasia.
