Kathy Jo, abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. Euthanasia is the ending
of a life that is deemed unfulfilling or painful. Here in Canada, there was a
case of a father ending the life of his daughter who had cerebral palsy. It was
seen as euthanasia by some, but by others, it was deemed murder. A very
controversial issue for many.

  Hope this sufficiently answers your questions.

Cheers!
