Euthanasia is against the law in the UK and, depending on the circumstances, will either be treated as the criminal offence of 'murder' or of 'manslaughter'.

Assisted suicide is also a criminal offence under the Suicide Act.

Euthanasia crime or not?

* Euthanasia is a crime in most States with the exception of Oregon and Washington, but Texas, Minnesota and a few other States are trying to accept Euthanasia into their States. It's not a crime to the person that is ill if that individual has a long-term painful illness where they will not get better and want to die with dignity. Often doctors keep patients alive due to the Hippocratic Oath, but more and more doctors are 'for' Euthanasia. Some people are against it because of their religious beliefs.
