Back-Street Euthanasia. Assisted suicide and active, voluntary euthanasia are occurring regularly. Because these acts are illegal, they are performed entirely underground. Some patients are lucky; they are able to obtain the assistance of a physician and the act is done properly. However, many cases involve painful, botched deaths that result in terrible suffering for both the patient and the survivors. 3, record 1, English, - back%2Dstreet%20euthanasia
