[Passive euthanasia and living will].

Abstract:

:This article deals with the intentional distinction between murder of first degree and passive euthanasia. In Hungary, active euthanasia is considered to be a murder of first degree, whilst the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and Switzerland have legalized the active form of mercy killing in Europe. The palliative terminal care, when e.g. giving pain-killer morphine to the patient, might result in decreasing the patient's life-span, and thus causing indirect euthanasia. However, the legal institution of living will exists in several counter-euthanasia countries. The living will allows future patients to express their decision in advance to refuse a life-sustaining treatment, e.g. in case of irreversible coma. The institution of living will exists in Germany and in Hungary too. Nevertheless, the formal criteria of living will make it hardly applicable. The patient ought to express his/her will before a notary public in advance, and he/she should hand it over when being hospitalized. If the patient is not able to present his/her living will to his/her doctor in the hospital, then his/her only hope remains that he/she has given a copy of the living will to the family doctor previously, and the family doctor will notify the hospital. :A dolgozat a szándékos emberölés és a passzív eutanázia között tesz fogalmi elhatárolást. Magyarországon az aktív eutanázia szándékos emberölésnek minősül, miközben Európában Hollandia, Belgium, Luxemburg és Svájc is törvényessé tette azt. A palliatív terminális medicina indirekt eutanáziához vezethet, amennyiben például fájdalomcsillapításra adott morfiummal másodlagos hatásként megrövidítik a beteg életét. A living will jogintézménye azonban számos, az aktív eutanáziát ellenző államban megtalálható. A későbbi beteg előre nyilatkozhat, hogy, amennyiben visszafordíthatatlan kómába kerül, vissza kívánja-e utasítani az életfenntartó orvosi kezelést. Például Németországban és Magyarországon is létezik a végakarat (living will) intézménye, de Magyarországon ennek a gyakorlati alkalmazása nehézségekbe ütközhet. Nálunk közokiratban kell előre nyilatkozni, és a beteg, ha a hospitalizációjakor nem képes átadni azt, akkor csak abban bízhat, hogy a háziorvosának adott belőle másolatot, és a háziorvosa erről értesíti az egészségügyi intézményt.
