The criteria for euthanasia are constantly being revisited. In most case the criteria involve significant physical torment, a lack of treatment to cure the cause or result of the diseases, and a desire by the patient to die to end the suffering. Some jurisdictions have included criteria like loss of enjoyment of life due to disease, trauma, mental issues, blindness, loss mobility.
