Date Issued

Author(s)
Abstract
dying is an equally practical and theoretical academic question. In this sense,
euthanasia forced upon someone’s life and death does not resolve the question
of human dignity but opens up a new, very emotional and distressful question
which possible, effective and proven answer compatible with the human right
to life and dignity in dying, is ethics of (palliative) care.
Should we accept this request, which represents a dangerous challenge
to the Hippocratic principles, both for doctors and for all those who deal with
the social integrity of medicine, especially when there is another solution –
palliative care, medicine, ethics is the questions with which author deals in the
paper.
