Where Is Euthanasia Legal?

Answer Question

7 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Euthanasia or mercy killing is the act of ending the life of a person suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable disease by injecting a lethal injection or by stopping extraordinary medical treatment by a doctor.

    The first country to legalize euthanasia is Netherlands in April 2002. Belgium became the second country to legalize euthanasia in September in the same year.

    Switzerland allows suicide assisted by doctors and those with medical training but euthanasia is not legal in the country. US state of Oregon enacted a law that allows physician assisted suicide in November 1994. The US government has tried to challenge this law but so far has not been successful.
