Euthanasia is also called as 'mercy killing'. The term “Euthanasia” has been derived from the two Greek words ‘eu’ and ‘thanotos’, which literally means ‘good death’.

Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. Euthanasia can be categorised in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, and involuntary.
