We all die, so I suppose for some of us, "good death" is better than "forced to be alive although you don't want to". Worth remembering where the word comes from:

> Euthanasia (from Greek: εὐθανασία, lit. 'good death': εὖ, eu, 'well, good' + θάνατος, thanatos, 'death') is the practice of intentionally ending life to eliminate pain and suffering.
