For the first time this term is used by Francis Bacon in his essay "On the dignity and progress of science" in the XVII century. It provides a definition of "light death." In the XIX century the term "euthanasia" is defined murder of pity for the victim.
Killing the sick, to alleviate their suffering is known from ancient times. In Sparta were killed children who were born weak and sick and old people who fall in the state, making them a burden on their families.

1990 marked the beginning of years of work of the famous American doctor Jack Kevorkian, who has helped many terminally ill to end their lives. In 1999 he was sentenced to imprisonment of between 10 and 25 years of lethal injection, which is done to a patient, as his work was videotaped and shown on some TV channels 6.
