Legality of euthanasia around the world
The legality of euthanasia varies depending on the country. Efforts to change government policies on euthanasia of humans in the 20th and 21st centuries have met limited success in Western countries. Human euthanasia policies have also been developed by a variety of NGOs, most notably medical associations and advocacy organizations.
Euthanasia must not be confused with assisted suicide, which may be legal in certain other jurisdictions.
