    Active euthanasia is legal in a few countries for terminally ill patients.

    That doesn’t seem an accurate description of the situation. Yes, doctors and nurses sometimes ‘help people along’ in their final hours or even days, that is not the same thing as the euthanasia being described here.

      No I am talking about “active euthanasia”. Look it up. You are talking about “passive euthanasia”.
