What is non voluntary euthanasia?

Non-voluntary euthanasia refers to the practice of ending a person's life to alleviate suffering when the individual is unable to provide consent, such as in cases of severe mental incapacity or unconsciousness. This type of euthanasia raises significant ethical and legal concerns, as it involves making decisions on behalf of someone who cannot express their wishes. It contrasts with voluntary euthanasia, where the individual explicitly requests assistance in dying. The legality and acceptance of non-voluntary euthanasia vary widely across different jurisdictions.
