Abstract:

Abstract Euthanasia or "sweet death" is a topic that has sparked numerous debates throughout history. In Albania, the right to life is protected by Article 21 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania. Regarding the individual's right to die in Albania, both forms of euthanasia, the passive and the active one, are considered criminal offenses and are punishable by law. The problem lies in the fact that such a definition is not found in the Albanian legislation, but such actions are considered as criminal by the interpretation of the law. In this topic we will study the perception of Albanians regarding euthanasia and whether the Albanian legislation should include this form of soft death or not. The protection of life in the country should take the dimensions of a sustainable protection. For this reason, in addition to the positive effects of improving life protection that derive from the application of the entirety of the various criminal justice programs and policies, also including the recent amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Albania, a concrete and continuous protection should be provided in support of the right to life. I have always drawn a debate on this issue, which deals with the fundamental human right, with the most sacred right, that of life.

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to analyze the epistemological study of euthanasia, as well as provides the general description of euthanasia in the historical development of the country and legislation. Euthanasia being a socio-legal phenomenon has very ancient historical roots. However, euthanasia has been highlighted as a scientific research object only at the end of the nineteenth century; thus, euthanasia has been classified as an independent scientific approach. In the history of state and law attitude towards euthanasia phenomenon can be divided into four main periods which coincide with global stages in history of mankind. Each of these stages had specific traditions concerning the issue of this kind of ending one’s life.

Abstract:

If a person is suffering from some illness or disability and wishes to end their We the lawought to facilitate rather than frustrate that choice argues Graham Oddie in this article. Hepoints out the inconsistencies in current medical practice, and the gross disparity between the practice and the letter of the law. In dismissing many of the commonly raised objections to calls for reform of the law permitting euthanasia he makes a strong case for consistency in our approach to the right to die and patient autonomy.

Abstract:

AbstractNon-voluntary passive euthanasia, the commonest form of euthanasia, is seldom mentioned in the UK. This article illustrates how the legal reasoning in Airedale NHS Trust v Bland contributed towards this conceptual deletion. By upholding the impermissibility of euthanasia, whilst at the same time permitting 'euthanasia' under the guise of 'withdrawing futile treatment', it is argued that the court (logically) allowed (withdrawing futile treatment and euthanasia). The Bland reasoning was incorporated into professional guidance, which extended the court's ruling to encompass patients who, unlike Anthony Bland, were sentient. But since the lawfulness of (withdrawing futile treatment and euthanasia) hinges on the futility of treatment, and since the guidance provides advice about withdrawing treatment from patients who differ from those considered in court, the lawfulness of such 'treatment decisions' is unclear. Legislation s proposed in order to redress the ambiguity that arose when moral decisions about 'euthanasia' were translated into medical decisions about 'treatment'.

Abstract:

The issue of euthanasia presents a contact area of ethics, law, and politics. This text provides a contribution to the expert public debate on the introduction of euthanasia into Serbian legislation. It does so first by clarifies the term - euthanasia (as a right to die with dignity). Further, it considers the obligations of other persons that arise from this right and the conditions under which they present a restriction on personality rights. By citing examples from the fields of ethics and law, the text states that the distinction between active and passive euthanasia is in fact a product of inadequate deliberation during the implementation of this differentiation.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes older adults (65 years and older) have towards euthanasia. The subjects of the study were people 65 years of age and older who reside in homes for the aged within the Cape Metropolis. An equal number of subjects from the African, Coloured and European communities were randomly selected. A biographical questionnaire as well as the Euthanasia Attitude Scale and the Purpose In Life Test, were administered. The influence of four variables were focused on, namely age, ethnicity, meaning in life and health. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis and one-way ANOV A analysis were used. Ethnicity, meaning in life and health were not found to have a significant correlation with euthanasia. Age was the only variable found to have a significant correlation with euthanasia. The findings were discussed and certain recommendations were made.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Macau perspectives on the Hague Principles. It clarifies a few points before examining the contractual choice of law rules in Macau in detail. First, the Macau Civil Code that is the most important source for conflict of laws rules was derived from the 1966 Portuguese Civil Code. Second, due to the fact that Macau is a jurisdiction belonging to the civil law family, court decisions in Macau, theoretically, are not a source of law and do not formally have binding legal effects. Third, while legal doctrine developed by scholars in Macau is not a formal source of law, it may have influence on legislation and provide guidance for court decisions. Fourth, although some revision has been made for the Macau Civil Code since its entry into force in 1999, so far there has not been any initiative to revise its conflicts system, let alone its contractual conflicts rules. Unfortunately, the Hague Principles as a whole or any part therein cannot be incorporated into Macau’s legislation in the near future. Nevertheless, theoretically speaking, broadly accepted international customs and usages could be resorted to as ‘persuasive authority’ by Macau judges in judicial practice. The chapter then provides a comparison between the Hague Principles and Macau law.

Abstract:

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter examines assisted dying. It looks at the current law, with particular emphasis upon the pressures currently being exerted on the status quo through British patients travelling to Dignitas in Switzerland for assisted suicides. The implications of the Nicklinson and Conway decisions are considered. The chapter sets out arguments for and against the legalization of voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide; and examines other countries’ experience with decriminalization.

Abstract:

This chapter deals with key legal and ethical issues surrounding end-of-life decisions, with particular reference to physician-assisted death, such as euthanasia. Suicide and assisted suicide, administration of pain relief, and futility are considered. Relevant legislation such as the Suicide Act 1961 (as amended by the Coroners and Justice Act 2009), the Human Rights Act 1998, and the Mental Capacity Act 2005 are discussed. The chapter examines several bioethical principles, including sanctity-of-life and quality-of-life debates; autonomy, beneficence, and medical paternalism; personhood, palliative care, and the double effect doctrine. Finally, it considers human rights issues, treatment requests, incompetent patients, prolonged disorders of consciousness, and locked-in syndrome. Recent cases are considered.

Abstract:

The public debate about assisted dying follows several tracks. The most important political question is whether euthanasia should be legalised, and if so how it should be delimited, regulated and controlled. Is it even possible to create a law that delineates when assisted dying should be allowed and when it should be prohibited, in a clear, fair and safe way? This chapter proposes criteria that can be used to design an assisted dying law, and discusses how existing laws can be evaluated based on the criteria. Particular emphasis is placed on the recent Canadian assisted dying legislation, which, in the author’s view, has failed in all three areas.

Abstract:

All practising clinicians will inevitably have to deal with the death of their patients. It is very important that we acknowledge our own biases and subjugate those to the needs of the patient for whom we are caring. Doctors prescribe drugs to alleviate symptoms or apply organ support to those whose bodies are failing. They can be asked, by patients or families, to provide life-sustaining treatments that do not offer any clinical relief or to administer drugs to ‘end suffering’. At both extremes, there are laws to protect both patient and doctor. It is this legislation, case law, and General Medical Council guidance that will be reviewed in this chapter. Discussion will focus on the right to refuse life-sustaining treatment; the role of the Mental Capacity Act and respecting ‘best interests’; the legal (and philosophical) distinction between withholding and withdrawing treatment; the doctrine of double effect; assisted suicide; and euthanasia.
