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).

Explain why you feel like it was important for the pilgrims to write the mayflower compact
Reptile [31]

The Mayflower Compact was important for a number of reasons.

First, it kept mutiny at bay.

But it was also a good first step as the new colonists figured out what rules they wanted to live by.

By setting up a system with majority rule, they ensured that there would always be consensus for decisions and would ensure that everybody would win some and everybody would lose some. The system would feel fair as they faced tough years ahead.

The answer is authenticity. Authenticity in anthropology reflects an object's materiality and if we dig deeper into it, authenticity does not only pertains to the age of the object but also to its age-value.
