[简答题]
Euthanasia can be either active or passive: (46) Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel take a deliberate action that will induce death, such as administering an overdose of morphine, insulin , or barbiturates, followed by an injection of curare. Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment, or suspending treatment that has begun. Examples of passive euthanasia include taking patient off a respirator (a breathing apparatus) or removing other life -support systems.
