Hi--

I'm new to this forum, but not to AWAD. Someone asked on another forum recently; "Does anyone know of a word that describes suicide to escape terrible pain or terminal illness? Euthanasia implies the killing of one person by another. Suicide implies the killing of oneself for reasons of mental disturbance and carries with it the stigma of that." The question stumped me! I was hoping one of you had a suggestion.

Thanks in advance.

Kay
