Contemporary bioethical problem of euthanasia

U radu se govori o problemu eutanazije koji zahvaća čitavo društvo gdje se pod krinkom milosrđa i brižnosti prema umirućem želi omogućiti smrt kako bi se izbjegla patnja i bol. Također, naslov rada Suvremeni bioetički problem eutanazije ukazuje i na problem ozakonjenja eutanazije u pojedinim državama gdje se eutanazija prakticira u svrhu umirućeg i njegovih bližnjih kojima postaje teret, te ne doprinosi društvu. Dokidanje života, to jest, umiranje bez ikakve patnje prvotno je što se pripisuje pojmu eutanazije. Dakle, odbacuje se važnost dostojanstvenog umiranja koje nalaže prirodni zakon, to jest, Bog. Problem je što se eutanaziju želi poistovjetiti s naravnim umiranjem. Naime, svaki pojedinac dužan je braniti život u svakom području života jer je život Božji dar, a ubiti nekoga na zahtjev protivi se svakom zakonu jer je takav čin nemoralan. Svakako da se posezanjem za eutanazijom može stati na kraj uvođenjem palijativne skrbi koja promiče život i istinski brine o bolesniku da se ne osjeća odbačenim i bezvrijednim. Važno je pomoći mu kroz psihičku i fizičku njegu, te omogućiti mu proživjeti svoj život dostojanstveno do kraja.The paper talks about the problem of euthanasia that affects the whole society, where under the guise of mercy and care for the dying, they want to enable death in order to avoid suffering and pain. Also, the title of the paper Contemporary bioethical problem of euthanasia points to the problem of legalizing euthanasia in certain countries where euthanasia is practiced for the purpose of the dying person and his relatives, to whom he becomes a burden, and does not contribute to society. Termination of life, that is, dying without any suffering, is primarily what is attributed to the concept of euthanasia. Thus, the importance of dying with dignity, which is mandated by natural law, that is, God, is rejected. The problem is that euthanasia is equated with natural dying. Namely, every individual is obliged to defend life in every area of life because life is a gift from God, and killing someone on demand is against every law because such an act is immoral. Of course, reaching for euthanasia can be put to an end by introducing palliative care that promotes life and truly cares for the patient so that he does not feel rejected and worthless. It is important to help him through mental and physical care, and enable him to live his life with dignity until the end
