Who came up with euthanasia?

Answer 1

Animal euthanasia has been around for a long time, euthanasia meaning "Good Death" in Greek. No one knows who actually came up with it because it has just always been around, it's just common sense. If an animal is in an irrepairable state, and is in pain, then it is humane to put it to sleep. In the Australian Veterinary industry a drug called "Lethabarb" is used. It is also known as the "green dream" as it is coloured green. Lethabarb is just the brand name and Pentobarbitone Sodium is the actual chemical. If you are worried that the animal goes through any pain in this process, don't be. Remember, the aim of it is to stop the animals pain. Basically the chemical causes the animal to fall asleep and their heartbeat slows continually until it stops completely.

Answer 2

Definition of invent: to originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity, experimentation, or contrivance: to invent the telegraph. Euthanasia is not a product, and therefore could not be truly invented. You are probably asking for the first documented case of euthanasia. Arguably, the original euthanization program was implimented by Nazi physicians, in order to provide this "good death" to those who were tainting the German race. They began to "euthanize" handicapped children in 1939. So bottom line, first documented euthanization program, Nazi doctors, to purify the "Aryan race".
