Euthanasia (mercy killing) is the act of assisting someone to kill themselves. It can be voluntary for example someone who is consciously making the decision to end their own life, or it can be an involuntary decision like taking someone off life support who has been in a coma for a while.
Animals do not have the same legal rights as humans.
people might abuse it they could kill a person using euthanasia
Euthanasia (from the Greek eu = good + thanatos = death) refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner. Many different forms of euthanasia can be distinguished, including animal euthanasia and human euthanasia, and within the latter, voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. Voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide have been the focus of great controversy in recent years.
