EUTANAZIJA U UPOREDNOM PRAVU SA OSVRTOM NA PRAVO BIH. (Croatian)

Euthanasia has caused the most controversy and debate in criminal law and ethical issues of modern civilization in the last few decades. Today, one of the most complex legal challenges in European countries is to try to take a fairer and more just approach to resolving euthanasia cases. Proponents of euthanasia believe that a person in general, and especially in cases of poor quality of life, serious illness and suffering, has the right to end his own life. Opponents of euthanasia, on the other hand, hold that no one has the right to take a life regardless of the circumstances, because life itself is invaluable and cannot be impaired by poor quality of life, illness or suffering. The loudest opponents of euthanasia are religions. At the heart of the teachings of the world’s great religions, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism is the inviolability and sanctity of human life, with euthanasia being interpreted as a kind of evil contrary to natural and divine laws. It is, therefore, a very complex, unique problem on which different points of view have been formed and which is not easy to legally regulate. Given that the very essence of euthanasia is human life, and that it touches on certain fundamental human rights and human freedoms, its involvement in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights is inevitable.

Najviše kontraverzi i rasprava u krivičnom pravu i etičkih problema savremene civilizacije posljednjih nekoliko decenija izaziva eutanazija. Danas je jedan od najkompleksnijih pravnih izazova europskih zemalja pokušaj što pravednijeg i opravdanijeg pristupa rješavanju slučajeva koji se dotiču pitanja eutanazije. Zagovornici eutanazije smatraju da čovjek općenito, a naročito u slučajevima lošeg kvaliteta života, teške bolesti i patnje, ima pravo okončati vlastiti život. S druge strane, protivnici eutanazije drže da niko nema pravo oduzeti život bez obzira na okolnosti, jer život po sebi ima neprocjenjivu vrijednost koju ne može narušiti loša kvaliteta života, bolest ili patnja. Najglasniji protivnici eutanazije su religije. U središtu učenja velikih svjetskih religija, budizma, islama, kršćanstva i judaizma jest nepovredivost i svetost ljudskog života, pri čemu se eutanazija tumači kao jedna vrsta zla koja je protivna prirodnim i božanskim zakonima. Riječ je, dakle, o vrlo složenom, svojevrsnom problemu o kojem su oblikovana različita stajališta i kojeg nije lako pravno regulisati. S obzirom da je u samoj suštini eutanazije ljudski život, te da se ona dotiče pojedinih temeljnih ljudskih prava i sloboda čovjeka neizbježna je njena uključenost u praksu Europskog suda za ljudska prava.
