Answer :

The type of euthanasia involved in the case of Renalto above is active euthanasia.

Active euthanasia is the act of taking specific and certain steps to intentionally cause the death of a patient. It is usually done by injecting the patient with a lethal dose of medication, such as sleeping pills or painkillers.

In the case of the question above, our subject Renalto can't endure the pain caused by his cancer anymore. Hence why he asks someone he knows (and most likely trusts) to administer a lethal dose of medication to him, thus ending his life and his suffering. Both he and the person who administers the medication are aware of their intentions and the consequences of their act. The act of intentional killing like this is considered active euthanasia.
