About Euthanasia 101

Last reviewed: March 2026

Our Mission

Euthanasia 101 gives clear, balanced, well-researched information about euthanasia, assisted dying and end-of-life choices. It is for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, students and researchers, without judgment.

End-of-life decisions are deeply personal. Our goal is that anyone, for personal, academic or professional reasons, can find accurate, current and fair information in one place.


Editorial Standards

Every page follows these standards:

Evidence-based research

We research content using peer-reviewed journals, government reports and established medical and legal organisations. Sources include The Lancet, JAMA, BMJ, national statistics offices and government legislation.

Multiple perspectives

We present pro, con and neutral views on contested topics. We do not take a side on whether euthanasia or assisted dying should be legal or ethical.

Fact vs. opinion

We keep medical and legal facts separate from opinion or analysis. When we summarise expert opinion, we name the source.

Regular review and updates

We review and update content regularly for changes in law, practice and research. Last review: March 2026.
