Euthanasia (health) and apo koinou (iou)


Euthanasia (health)


The most commonly understood meaning of euthanasia today is more than the old dictionary definition of dying well -- a good and easy death. It refers, for example, to the situation when a doctor induces the death with a lethal injection, of a patient who is suffering unrelievably and has persistently requested the doctor to do so. Suicide, whether irrational or rational, for unrelated reasons is not euthanasia. Nor is the forced killing of another person.

apo koinou adjectival & adverbial phr. L19.
[Greek, lit. 'in common'.]
Grammar. Designating a construction comprising two clauses having an unrepeated word or phrase in common; so as to form such a construction.
