The legalization of treatment with Euthanasia in America is an issue that has existed over several generations. There are many Americans that are in favor of Euthanasia, the right to die.

A definition of euthanasia is, ? a painless, killing, especially to end a painful and inevitable disease; mercy killing.? ?Euthanasia is the practice of ending the life of a suffering person for his/her benefit.? There are four types of Euthanasia: voluntary, non-voluntary, active, and passive. Voluntary Euthanasia is practiced when the person whose life is ending has given pervious consent to have Euthanasia. Non-voluntary Euthanasia occurs when the will of the person is unknown but the family or friends of the person wish for the suffering to end. Active Euthanasia happens when deliberate actions are taken in terminating the life of the suffering individual.
