Euthanasia
Euthanasia (Greek word) meaning "good death refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering.

Definition
The British House of Lords defines euthanasia as "a deliberate intervention undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to relieve intractable suffering". In the Netherlands, euthanasia is understood as "termination of life by a doctor at the request of a patient".

Classification of euthanasia
Euthanasia may be classified according to whether a person gives informed consent into three types: Voluntary Non-Voluntary Involuntary

Voluntary euthanasia
Euthanasia conducted with the consent of the patient is

termed voluntary euthanasia. Active voluntary euthanasia is legal in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. When the patient brings about his or her own death with the assistance of a physician, the term assisted suicide is often used instead. Assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland and the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington and Montana.

Non-voluntary euthanasia
Euthanasia conducted where the consent of the patient is unavailable is termed non-voluntary euthanasia. Examples include child euthanasia, which is illegal worldwide but decriminalized under certain specific circumstances in the Netherlands under the Groningen Protocol.

Involuntary euthanasia
Euthanasia conducted against the will of the patient is termed involuntary euthanasia. For Example: A soldier has their stomach blown open by a shell burst. He is in great pain and he beg the army doctor to save him but doctor knows that he will die in ten minutes. As he has no painkilling drugs with him he decides to spare the soldier further pain and shoots them dead.

History
Euthanasia was practiced in Ancient Greece and Rome: For example, hemlock was employed as a means of hastening death on the island of Kea, a technique also employed in Marseilles and by Socrates in Athens. Euthanasia, in the sense of the deliberate hastening of a person's death, was supported by Socrates, Plato and Seneca the Elder in the ancient world.

Euthanasia in Islam
Do not take life, which Allah made sacred, other than in

the course of justice. Qur'an 17:33 The Prophet said: "Amongst the nations before you there was a man who got a wound, and growing impatient (with its pain), he took a knife and cut his hand with it and the blood did not stop till he died. Allah said, 'My Slave hurried to bring death upon himself so I have forbidden him (to enter) Paradise.' Sahih Bukhari 4.56.669
