Q
The nature of euthanasia
A
Euthanasia is thought of as providing a gentle and easy death to someone suffering from a painful, deadly disease and who has little quality of life.
British law says that all methods of euthanasia are murder. However, the law now states you can stop giving treatment or eating as they are lawful.
