Good morning. Here's the difference between active and passive euthanasia.

Active Euthanasia consists of deaths by a deliberate act (for example) a doctor willingly doing something to kill a patient.
________________

Passive Euthanasia consists of deaths cause by exclusion (not/to stop doing something that is necessary for a patient to live), (for example) a doctor not giving a patient life-extending drugs.
