In the UK, The Suicide Act 1961 defines assisting someone in the act of suicide to be a criminal offence. 'Euthanasia' itself is not a legal term in the UK as there are no laws relating to it, therefore cases of euthanasia are treated as either 'manslaughter' or 'murder' depending on the specific circumstances.

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. This law was enacted in 1957.
