‘Passive euthanasia’? This term captures why media coverage of end-of-life care calls for special guidelines
The word ‘euthanasia’ is derived from a Greek term for ‘good death,’ an aspiration for all. Ask people what it means, and they will likely speak of induced death, painlessly and on compassionate grounds. In popular usage, it encompasses termination of life on request, mercy killing and assisted suicide.
