Abstract: Euthanasia is the process of withholding medical treatment by a qualified health care provider. There are ranges of attitudes both for and against passive euthanasia, which have been controversial for many years. Euthanasia is the termination of a person with their consent to withhold medical care. Some raise a moral question about euthanasia. Passive euthanasia done with the patients’ consent avoids wasting treatment and resources and reserving them for people expected to benefit from them. The controversial point is that holding back treatment of a patient, knowing that the person will die no matter what you do is morally equivalent to administering a lethal injection. Both end in death of the patient. In the case of passive euthanasia, the provider takes an informed decision of not treating beings the best solution.
Keywords: euthanasia, passive, lethal, ethics, morals, believes.
