I need some help.
I hear there are signs of him being both for and against euthanasia, but I'd like to know what these signs are, and the rest of the associated details. :)

Yes, they are right, Aristotle did not have time for the topic of euthanasia, they attributed afflictions to the gods as punishment for some deed. Read your Greek tragedies and comedies, they explain all of that.

"Euthanasia" is a Greek word means "Good Death" mentioned by Ancient Greek Physician name Hippocrates.
Aristotle discussed various topics such as politics, ethics, metaphysics, poetics, medical and natural sciences.
However, I do not think Aristotle had anything to say about this particular topic.
Even though Euthanasia first discussed in 400 B.C. but I think Euthanasia widely practice in the early 19 th century.

Aristotle didn't say anything about this. You are thimking of Hippocrates. I believe his Hippocratic oath stated that doctors are not to provide a drug of abortion.
