Dr. Kevorkian believed that terminally ill people had the right decide how and when they wanted to die. He was responsible for a number of what he termed assisted suicides where he would set up a euthanasia machine that could be activated by the terminally ill patient. Kevorkian did not participate in the activation of the devices and the patient had to be able to activate the device without assistance. Technically, he did not put anyone to death.
Euthanasia, with regard to people, typically refers to a doctor performing a mercy killing on a very sick person. An example of this would be Dr. Kevorkian. He was a physician who spent time in jail for humanely assisting in the suicides of terminally ill people who had consented to the procedure.
