    • To analyze the impact of technology and terminology on euthanasia discussions.
    • To explore the challenges of "beneficent euthanasia" within the traditional provider-patient framework.
    • To advocate for ethical consensus on euthanasia through redefined beneficence and shared responsibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of ethical frameworks related to euthanasia.
    • Examination of the provider-patient relationship in the context of end-of-life decisions.

  • Discussion of the role of technology in prolonging the dying process.

    • Main Results:

    • "Beneficent euthanasia" introduces complexities that challenge established medical ethics.
    • There is a need for clearly defined limits of beneficence and equitable responsibility distribution.
    • Current discourse risks an unrealistic portrayal of death and its consequences.

    Conclusions:

    • Ethical consensus on euthanasia requires acknowledging participants' roles and obligations in end-of-life decisions.
    • Controlling technology that extends the dying period is essential.
    • Open discussion of euthanasia's implications is necessary for ethical clarity.
