What is voluntary euthanasia? How is it different from physician assisted suicide?
Voluntary euthanasia is the intentional termination of a patient’s life by an act of injecting a lethal drug at the request of the patient, because the doctor believes death will benefit the patient. The primary difference between assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia is that the former involves the patient self-administering the drugs while the latter entails a physician to administer the drugs to the patient.
