Document Summary
Apa: title page, name, student number, title does not to be creative. In law, these are treated separately (e. g. accidental vs planned out to kill someone: you are basically killing the patient, with permission. Non-voluntary - killing or letting die when the patient is unable to express such a desire: e. g. patie(cid:374)t is i(cid:374) a (cid:272)o(cid:373)a, a(cid:374)d (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:859)t e(cid:454)press their desires a(cid:374)d (cid:272)o(cid:374)se(cid:374)t for the(cid:373)sel(cid:448)es. Note: 1. there is a difference between involuntary and non-voluntary, nv: (cid:449)e did(cid:374)(cid:859)t get word from you, 2. Involuntary euthanasia is not a seriously considered possibility. The law is written to avoid this: doing euthanasia when the person wants to be ressucitated. Not actually euthanasia, since the "patient" ultimately kills himself or herself. The line between the two can, however, become very thin. Enabling you to take your own life: you are the one who is taking your own life.
