Question

If the patient requests active euthanasia and legally agrees to it, would they then be the cause of their own death in conjunction with the physician? When a crime is committed, such as murder, aren't the conspirators arrested/charged as well even if they did not physically conduct the crime?

Answer 1

Euthanasia refers to bringing an end to life with medical support. In these case it is also called as physician assisted suicide. A patient may require an euthanasia only during a painful situation with terminal illness (eg., cancer,who is going to survive less than six months) A request by patient is legally acceptable in most states now but under proper medical evidence and proof permitted by a physician .Hence the patient themselves are legally responsible for their death in conjunction with a physician.

A conspirators are one who can be a person involved in the crime who are not directly related to it .Upon investigations it is clear that the conspirator can be a main person to induce the crime or a murder probably by their speech, behavior or action hence linking the person indirectly to the murder.Hence the conspirators are legally subjected for doing the crime and punishable under law.
