o:7061 Criminal aspects of euthanasia in the Republic of Serbia Krivičnopravni aspekti eutanazije u Republici Srbiji en sr Abstract: The question of legal and medical regulation of the right to euthanasia, although the action itself has been performed since the existence of humanity, was raised in the 20th century. Then the regulation of this issue begins, bearing in mind that it was actually implemented, and that it could lead to abuses and extermination of certain nations. With the legal regulation of this issue, discussions begin, primarily legal and medical, but also philosophical, moral, sociological and religious. And while some states regulats, whether they expressly prohibit or allow it, certain states do not regulate the legal aspect of euthanasia. Certainly, any regulation is better than the absence of any legal norms governing this issue, which leave room for arbitrariness and abuse. In the paper, I emphasize the connection between the right to life and the right to die, individual and general interest. In addition to the above, I point out the arguments for and against euthanasia, clarify the concept of euthanasia and the forms of euthanasia, emphasize the criminal law aspect of euthanasia, as well as how this issue is legally regulated in the law of the Republic of Serbia. Sažetak: Pitanje pravnog i medicinskog regulisanja prava na eutanaziju, iako se sama radnja vršila od postojanja čovečanstva, postavlja se tek u XX veku. Tada kreće regulisanje i „uređivanje“ ovog pitanja, imajući u vidu da se faktički sprovela, te da je moglo dovesti do zloupotreba i korišćenja za suzbijanje određenih nacija. Sa uređivanjem ovog pitanje kreću i rasprave, pre svega pravne i medicinske, ali i filozofske, moralne, sociološke i religijske. I dok neke države uređuju ovo pitanje, bilo da izričito zabranjuju ili dozvoljavaju, određene države ne regulišu pravni aspekt eutanazije. Svakako da je bilo kakvo regulisanje bolje od nepostojanje zakonskih normi koje uređuju ovo pitanje, koje ostavljaju prostor za proizvoljnost i zloupotrebe. U radu prikazujem vezu između prava na život i prava na smrt, pojedinačnog i opšteg, društvenog interesa. Pored navedenog, ukazujem na argumente za i protiv eutanazije, pojašnjavam sam pojam eutanazije i oblike eutanazije, naglašavam krivičnopravni aspekt eutanazije, kao i kako je ovo pitanje pravno regulisano u uporednom pravu i pravu Republike Srbije.
