This talks about all the aspects, points, and important events in the history of euthanasia. Starting from its literal meaning of it to the questions it raises about humanity. This article covers the topic in an orderly manner which is the literal meaning of it i.e. EU means well or good and Thanos means death in Greek, together well or good death, then what is euthanasia?
