The answer to our question

The question' How many countries do you know legalize euthanasia?
→Above all, there are two kinds of euthanasia. Passive euthanasia and Active euthanasia. In many countries, passive euthanasia have been legalized, that is, the right to die is accepted. By expressing their living will, people can approach death voluntary if they get an incurable disease, and there is no hope for recovering it. However, at present, active euthanasia has been legalized only in four countries and two states in US. They are Switzerland, Nederland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Oregon, Washington. I think active euthanasia is more difficult to deal with more than passive one, because some time active one could be 'murder' if a doctor or the family of the patient go against his living will. Therefore, it will take a long time to permit active euthanasia in many countries.
