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).

Which of the following is a reason for a researcher to select a quasi-experimental design? Select one:
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

To avoid the ethical issues a true experiment would cause.

Explanation:

A quasi-experiment is a factual conventional study that is used to calculate the causal effect of interference on a target population without an irregular function. Quasi-experimental research shares closeness with traditional experimental design or randomized controlled trials, but lacks the element of random assignment specifically for treatment or control.

Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow the researcher to control the assignment to treatment status, but use some criterion other than random assignment (For example- an eligibility cutoff mark).

Why is some radiation dangerous while other radiation isn't
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Because some radiation can hurt your body. For example sun radiation, it can cause skin cancer and hurt you. Other radiation doesn't hurt you because it might have low-energy photons. The higher the energy, the stronger the radiation is.
