The word 'euthanasia' comes from the Greek -- Eu, "good", and Thanatos, "death". Literally, "good death". But the word 'euthanasia' has acquired a more complex meaning. It is generally taken nowadays to mean w that there are at least two forms of suicide. One is 'emotional suicide', or irrational self-murder in all of it complexities and sadness.
