Explanation

Passive euthanasia involves allowing a natural death to occur by withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment - death is permitted but not directly caused. Active euthanasia (administering drugs) directly causes death. Options about freezing or lowering body temperature describe cryonics or therapeutic hypothermia, not euthanasia.
