“MERCY KILLING” IN COMPARATIVE LEGISLATION

Abstract

The issue of euthanasia is regulated in a different way in each country and legislation. However, the last word has not been spoken, and this is the message of extensive arguments and grave concern. The theme is large in scale, as is the dimension of a human being and the world itself. Difficult and strong, too. As the author points out, behind each question related to euthanasia lies a preceding question of the actual need for its legalization. The author adds: here it is good to hear a different opinion, shed some light on the problem from another perspective and offer new solutions to complex, but important dilemmas which arise in relation to the subject matter.
