EUTHANASIA IS NOT A CLEAR CONCEPT
eu = good / well / easy...
thanatos = death
>Euthanasia is a wrongly done word
if dying is bad then euthanasia is a contradictory concept, if dying is good then is a redundancy
>Euthanasia is how you die
if dying by getting shot face to face is dignified and dying getting shot from behind is not, then euthanasia is not aimed for the one dying but for the ones witnessing, thus euthanasia is a social concept, does not matter if the individual is aware or not while dying
>Euthanasia is the process of dying
If dying must be without suffering to be considered euthanasia then there are two euthanasia. The euthanasia that happens naturally or accidentally but does not provoke it (dying in a quick accident or dying unconscious). The other euthanasia is the one that "eases" the death but does not provokes it or accelerate it (dying of cancer but under painkillers)
>Euthanasia is getting yourself dead
If euthanasia is getting yourself dead on purpose but without suffering there are two euthanasia. The euthanasia that speeds up the process of somebody dying (administrating a deadly dose on somebody with stage 4 cancer). The other euthanasia is the one that gets a barely perfect healthy individual dead (deadly dose on somebody tetraplegic). These two consider the "worth" or "dignity" of somebody to keep living
>Euthanasia can be suicide, murder, death penalty
Continuing with "dignity" and "worthy life". If somebody with a decrepit body provokes euthanasia on himself because of unworthy life, it can be suicide. If somebody with a decrepit body is given euthanasia because unworthy life, it can be murder. If somebody personally decrepit (killer, rapist, terrorist...) is given death penalty to "free" him from that personality, it can be euthanasia.

Euthanasia is because no one has the time or money or effort to care for them. Thatโ€™s not a good death
