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).

Three hours after eating at an airport fast-food restaurant, Karen got extremely nauseous while in flight. The next time she was
Annette [7]

Answer:

This statement does not explain this phenomenon: Karen felt a wave of nausea because she passed by a restaurant that made her feel nauseous during a flight.

Explanation:

The cause of Karen´s nausea is more psychological than physical, while the above statement commits the attribution error of mistaking a physical for a psychological cause. The statement in the answer attributes the cause of Karen´s nausea to <em>eating at a restaurant which caused nausea during her flight. </em>However, since the cause of the second nausea episode is that Karen <em>remembered</em><em> that the restaurant had caused her to feel nausea, so she is feeling nausea now. </em>So the statement in the answer is mistaken about the  the cause of her nausea.
