sentence: Some people prefer the terms 'aid in dying' or 'death with dignity' to describe assisted suicide.
sentences_before: Normally, people who ask for assisted suicide are very ill and in a lot of pain, so they want someone to help them to die, for example by being given access to drugs which will kill them.
sentences_after: The term 'euthanasia' is sometimes used, although euthanasia is generally regarded as different to assisted suicide, as it involves causing a person to die rather than helping them to kill themselves.
