Passive euthanasia occurs when a terminally ill patient's life-saving therapy is stopped or withheld, allowing the patient to pass away naturally.

Earlier, Sir Francis Bacon described the concept of passive euthanasia in the 17th century. It comes from the Greek terms "EU" and "Thanatos," which denote good and death, respectively. Originally, it meant a "good" or "easy" death, though.

Passive euthanasia refers to the intentional removal of artificial life support, such as a ventilator or feeding tube. Some ethicists distinguish between stopping life support and withdrawing it (the patient is on life support but then removed from it).

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

Qualitative; quantitative

Explanation:

According to Piaget's theory, the cognitive approach in children changes in a qualitative way since human beings develop their capacities in different ways as they grow and get mature, processing the acquired information in different ways as well. He says it happens in a qualitative manner, more than a process of accumulation of information where more and more information is stored.

On the other hand according to the information-processing approach which is mainly adopted by cognitive psychologists, the knowledge acquisition is mainly based on a quantitative model, in which information is processed according to the number of experiences and storage of information that will be used when necessary. This model is generally compared to that of a computer in which an amount of information can be stored  to use later.
