MISTHANASIA — [Noun] The premature death of a vulnerable human due to a failure to provide appropriate help in the context of social injustice. A neologism coined by Brazilian bioethicists, from mis- ("badly, wrongly") and -thanasia (as in euthanasia, dysthanasia), from Ancient Greek θάνατος (thánatos, "death"). Unlike "euthanasia" (intentional mercy-killing) or "dysthanasia" (prolonged dying through overtreatment), misthanasia is death by omission—the slow violence of indifference. It is the diabetic collapsing in a pharmacy queue, priced out of insulin; the refugee child sinking into hypothermia under a foil blanket; the elderly woman expiring alone in a housing project, her name misspelled on the coroner’s report. A society's moral decay is measured not in its active cruelties, but in the deaths it accepts as inevitable.
