Medically provoked death, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is a common issue for discussion in various forums, participants coming from widely differing fields of knowledge, among who are, of course, doctors. Substantial legal differences exist in Europe on this issue and in an ever-wider Europe, it is essential, for practical reasons, that legislation be standardised. We would like to propose possible regulations that would provide effective safeguards in the application of euthanasia or assisted suicide.
无论是安乐死还是协助自杀,医学诱导死亡都是各个论坛上常见的讨论话题,参与者来自广泛不同的知识领域,其中当然包括医生。在欧洲,关于这个问题存在重大的法律差异,而且在范围不断扩大的欧洲,出于实际原因,使立法标准化至关重要。我们想提出一些可能的规定,这些规定将在安乐死或协助自杀的实施中提供有效的保障措施。
