We also talk about assisted suicide. Different societies have different views on this, and that is why one needs to look at the arguments to understand the reasoning from different angles. We can say that there are three types of euthanasia: ; voluntary, involuntary and non-voluntary.

No one should ever be forced to suffer against their will.
