Letting die

In non-consequentialist ethical thought, there is a moral distinction between killing and letting die.

Whereas killing involves intervention, letting die involves withholding care (for example, in passive euthanasia),[1][2] or other forms of inaction (such as in the Trolley problem).

Also in medical ethics there is a moral distinction between euthanasia and letting die.

Legally, patients often have a right to reject life-sustaining care, in areas that do not permit euthanasia.
