Eutanazija i pružanje pomoći u samoubistvu krivična odgovornost za pomaganje pri samoubistvu
Euthanasia And Assisted Suicide Service Criminal Liability For Supporting The Suicide

Summary/Abstract: Is there a place for respecting the autonomy of those who want to live? Should the mortally ill patients, who want to live, be allowed to live? What are the facts and arguments? What are the proofs that doctors actually deny treatments and that people are thus dying against their will? Focusing on this problem during our considerations, we start from the doctor – patient relationship. It is difficult to speak about the facts since the level of doctor’s reporting the cases of euthanasia is very low so that we can say there is no place for concern. Even such a low number of reported cases refers to the requests for help coming from dying patients who were suffering from a terminal disease. But what about the doctors who cannot or will not make a difference between active and passive euthanasia and what about the patients whose painful suffering prevents them from reaching a sound and reasonable decision? Therefore we need to bring this issue on another level which would offer a more concrete proof that a law has been satisfied. We are referring to a some type of an official document (a statement of free will) in which the patient expresses his will to have his life terminated.
