ЕUTANAZIJA: PRAVO NA SMRT IZMEĐU BOŽJE VOLJE I VOLJE ČOVEKA
Apstrakt
Poslednjih decenija, eutanazija je bila izuzetno aktuelno, ali i kontroverzno pitanje sa pravnog, moralnog, etičkog i verskog stanovišta. Pristalice njene legalizacije ističu ljudsko pravo na dostojanstvenu smrt, potrebu da se postupa humano i poštuje željа osobe da u patnji i bolu izabere smrt umesto života. S druge strane, protivnici eutanazije ističu da se pravo na život, garantovano i zaštićeno zakonom, u osnovi protivi legalizaciji prava na smrt, koje kao takvo ne postoji u međunarodno-pravnim dokumentima. Takođe, religiozniji protivnici ističu da je božja volja rođenje, kao i umiranje, te da je svako mešanje u taj proces nedopustivo.
U radu će biti dat kratak pregled evropskih zemalja čiji zakoni dozvoljavaju neki oblik eutanazije, kao i detaljniji pregled zakonodavstva u Belgiji, zemlji sa najširim pristupom dobrovoljnoj eutanaziji danas, proširujući je od fizičke do psihičke nemoći, kao i na decu bez starosne granice i prestupnike, sa posebnim osvrtom na slučaj Mortier protiv Belgije. Neophodno je odgovoriti na pitanje da li je eutanazija u pojedinim slučajevima opravdana i svrsishodna sa aspekta humanosti i saosećanja, te kako ovi slučajevi treba da budu regulisani, posebno imajući u vidu predlog da se eutanazija dekriminalizuje novim Građanskim zakonikom Srbije, koji je trenutno u izradi.
