Killing out of Convenience is Not Euthanasia
Abstract
This paper discusses why the term 'euthanasia' and its derivatives are used incorrectly in almost all instances, whether in general use, the popular press or in scientific publications. This continued and euphemistic misuse of the term represents dishonesty and a denial of the gravity of what is being done under the guise of an 'easy death'.
