Ethics of (Palliative) Care and the Question of Euthanasia

Abstract

The man got used pretty much to life and doesn’t think very often on life’s fragility and temporality, e.g. on death. But, human life is unrestrainably rushing to it’s end - death. So, the question of basic human right to live, human dignity in suffering and dying, is equally practical and theoretical and academic question. In this sense, euthanasia forced upon someone’s life and death do 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 human right to live and dignity in dying, is ethics of (palliative) care.
