Active euthanasia is when a doctor directly ends a patient’s life, like using a lethal injection. Passive euthanasia is when doctors stop treatment or life support, letting the person die naturally.
Passive euthanasia is legal in many countries. Active euthanasia is only legal in a few, like the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Ecuador, and New Zealand. Some U.S. states allow assisted dying, but not active euthanasia.
