Bringing about gentle and painless death from incurable disease

Euthanasia refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain and suffering, typically for patients with incurable diseases. The term comes from Greek 'eu' (good) and 'thanatos' (death), meaning 'good death.' Unlike suicide which is self-inflicted, euthanasia is typically performed by medical professionals with patient consent. Euphoria is extreme happiness, and gallows refers to execution equipment.
