Eutanasia

Eutanasia merupakan perbuatan mematikan seseorang. Amalan ini melanggar undang-undang di kebanyakan negara. Isu ini banyak menimbulkan kontroversi kerana wujudnya pelbagai persoalan moral dan etika, bukan sahaja terhadap amalan itu, tetapi juga definisinya. Penyokong amalan ini mendakwa bahawa mematikan seseorang yang menghidap penyakit teruk merupakan perbuatan yang berperikemanusiaan. Penentang eutanasia pula melabelkan kaedah ini sebagai bentuk pembunuhan.

Eutanasia boleh dijalankan dengan pelbagai cara, dan pengistilahan yang lebih spesifik diperlukan dalam membincangkan isu eutanasia.
