Euthanasia
Mrkvová, Kateřina ; Sovová, Olga (advisor) ; Císařová, Dagmar (referee)
In this thesis, I examined the definition of euthanasia and its different forms, as well as the legal evolution of this term and its constitutional foundations in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, I focused on the legislative treatment of euthanasia in the Czech criminal law, and compared it to the legislative treatment of euthanasia in Australia, Colombia, and England. In every individual state, I tried to capture the most important moments concerning the legal regulation of euthanasia and assisted suicide. In Australia, I focused mainly on the very first legal regulation of euthanasia, in Colombia, progression of an application of the Constitutional Court judgment on active euthanasia and in England, the evolution of relevant case law, usually related to assisted suicide. The most detailed explanation, of course, focuses on the Czech Republic. In my analysis, I used a variety of Czech and foreign legal sources, including modern sources such as video conferencing. By comparing the approaches, I provided a general overview of differentiation of euthanasia and its potential criminal impact. I subsequently listed some foreign legal examples of judicial treatment and legal regulation of euthanasia and assisted suicide, currently unrecognized in the Czech legal literature. The main contribution and...
