misthanasia
The premature death of a vulnerable human due to a failure to provide appropriate help in the context of social injustice.
uncountable
Orthotanasia refers to the art of promoting a humane and correct death, not subjecting patients to misthanasia or dysthanasia and not abbreviating death either, that is, subjecting them to euthanasia.
Where it comes from
A neologism coined by Brazilian bioethicists, from mis- (“badly, wrongly”) + -thanasia (as in euthanasia, dysthanasia), from Ancient Greek θάνατος (thánatos, “death”).
