Active euthanasia- when the dying person is killed to put them out of their suffering, what happens ends their life and their illness does not kill them Passive euthanasia- is when the dying person is allowed to die through taking away them medical support they need to keep them alive after the illness is allowed to kill them

Christianity life is sacred                                                                        protect life as much as possible no wish to hasten death hospices are seen as a compassionate way to help the dying want god and only god to take their life god created life in his own image you shall not kill(10 commandments) I, your God, give life, and i take it away(old testament) is a teaching of the church that life is respected from conception until natural death doctors can't disobey the obligation to prolong life by all means most do not agree with it seen as murder church of England accepts passive euthanasia dosen't agree with active euthanasia

Islam self harm or self killing is wrong it is the decision of Allah when someone dies neither kill nor destroy yourself (Qur'an) whoever kills a man; it shall be as if he killed all mankind(Qur'an) do not take life which Allah has made sacred except for a just cause(Qur'an) Euthanasia is Zulm - a wrong doing against Allah(Shari'ah law)
