Euthanasia is the process of ending life by artificial means. It is to change the uncertainty of the time of natural death depending upon so many seen and unseen, known and unknown factors into the certainty of the time of death by certain known and calculated means through some drugs or injections. Euthanasia is allowed in Netherlands under certain circumstances. There are four types of euthanasia:
Active: the direct willed death of a person
Passive: indirect cause such as 'allowing to die' or 'letting nature take its cause'
Involuntary: carried out on the assumption that had the person been able to express his/her will, he or she would have chosen to die.
Non-voluntary: the decision to terminate life is made for some one who is unable to express his/her own will about it.
