Summary/Abstract: Opposable erga omnes, the right to life is an absolute and intangible right of the human being and is protected by criminal law in the interest of the whole society, including for the purpose of ensuring human coexistence. In other words, the interest of the criminal law is to impose on all citizens the obligation to respect the life of each individual, to respect the human desire to live. Seen as an attempt on the person’s life, the act of determining or facilitating suicide could not remain outside the incrimination in the Criminal Code as a crime. The present paper is a study of this incrimination from the perspective of the defense of the right to life.
