TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Ethical and legal aspects of the right to die with dignity JO - Filozofija i Drustvo A1 - Golijan, I.D. SP - 420 EP - 439 VL - 31 IS - 3 N2 - 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. © 2020, University of Belgrade - Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory.
