Euthanasia
Vlčková, Klára ; Císařová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Sovová, Olga (referee)
The aim of this Master's degree thesis is an overall assessment of the issue of euthanasia and a consideration of its possible legal regulation. In order to accomplish this aim it was necessary to carry out an analysis of foreign legislations of euthanasia. Furthermore, I have dealt in this thesis with the current status of euthanasia under the legal order of the Czech Republic with primary emphasis on criminal law. This thesis consists in total of four chapters. Chapter One deals with the most general matters of euthanasia, in particular with the matter of the term itself, usually determined forms and historical developments of attitudes towards euthanasia. Chapter Two compares foreign legislations of euthanasia and their impact on practice. Chapter Three clarifies the status of euthanasia in respect of the Czech legal order, in particular from the perspective of criminal law, in respect of recent legislative efforts for its legal regulation and considerations of possible future legal development. The last chapter deals with fundamental arguments of supporters and dissenters of euthanasia and provides its summarizing assessment. The conclusion, which I have reached while working on this thesis, is kind of a compromise. I suppose that legalization of euthanasia does not stand for a right direction,...

Euthanasia
Taschnerová, Lucie ; Císařová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Sovová, Olga (referee)
Euthanasia was and still is one of the most controversial topics. It is a complex problem that involves religious, moral, medical and legal aspects. My thesis is focused on euthanasia in relation to the law. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the issue of euthanasia from the perspective of legislation in the Czech Republic. The thesis consists of five chapters. The first chapter contains introduction to the topic of euthanasia. The second chapter is devoted to the definition of term euthanasia. Euthanasia is a word of Greek origin ("eu"- good and "thanatos"- death). Its meaning is good, beautiful or merciful death. Nowadays the term is used in the sense of intentionally termination of life on request to relieve pain and suffering. This chapter also includes the definition of forms of euthanasia. The third chapter is focused on euthanasia in the sense of killing on request. In this meaning, euthanasia has never been explicitly regulated in the Czech Republic. But it does not mean that the issue of legislation of euthanasia is not actual. This chapter is subdivided into the three parts. The first part is about history of legislation of euthanasia. The second part is concentrated on legal classification of euthanasia according to the Czech Penal Code. The last part contains the ideas de lege ferenda....

Euthanasia and its legislation
Mika, Daniel ; Císařová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Sovová, Olga (referee)
The aim of this thesis is the analysis of domestic legislation affecting euthanasia and analysis of such adjustments abroad. The author questions the appropriateness of such adjustments in the Czech Republic. The current legal regulation does not regulate euthanasia in any way, and so the adoption of such regulation is appropriate. Domestic experts criticize this fact for a long time. In the first part the author deals with the most comprehensive definition of the subject of euthanasia and its development abroad and, particularly, in the Czech Republic. Other parts, using the historical-empirical methods, deal with the legal arrangements and their analysis in the Benelux countries, where the euthanasia is legal under certain given conditions. They describe not only the current treatment, but also the path that led to it. In the last section the author assesses the non-legal aspects of euthanasia and outlines two basic directions, which the domestic legislation could take in the future.

Euthanasia and the Criminal law
Trnka, Pavel ; Vokoun, Rudolf (advisor) ; Herczeg, Jiří (referee)
1 Abstract Euthanasia is a highly controversial issue that is becoming an increasingly hot topic almost all over the world. Etymologically, the word "euthanasia" has its origins in the Greek word "euthanatos", meaning "good death" (from eu- "good, pleasant" + thanatos "death"). Later, however, in the wake of an interpretative shift, euthanasia generally came to be used, alongside its meaning of good death (merciful, good, beautiful, easy death), as the term of choice in connection with killing out of pity or compassion. Although, in my thesis, I discuss the subject of "good death" primarily from the perspective of criminal law in force in this country, the issue of euthanasia is very broad and encompasses not only criminal law or law in general, but also extends into a wide range of social fields. For this reason, in my thesis I also touch on euthanasia's relationship with medicine and religion, abuse of the concept of euthanasia and, not least, on legislation in other countries. The brief introduction to the thesis centres on an explanation of my motivation for choosing this subject and outlines what I will discuss in more detail in the main body of text. The initial chapter initially addresses how the concept of euthanasia has evolved and then discusses what forms it takes. Based on definitions put...

Criminal Law and Euthanasia
Dřímal, Pavel ; Císařová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Vokoun, Rudolf (referee)
Euthanasia represents one of the most controversial topics around the world. As I mentioned in the first chapter there is no worldwide consistency whether to accept the idea of legalization Active Voluntary Euthanasia ("AVE") or not. The goal of this diploma thesis is not to persuade anybody. In approximately 60 pages of the text I am providing readers with some essential information about euthanasia in the Czech Republic. I am also trying to compare the foreign legal regulation of euthanasia and assisted suicide but theoretical ideas as well. The first chapter is mainly trying to capture the reader's focus and setting the theme of my diploma thesis. The second chapter of my thesis is called ,,The Term Euthanasia". This chapter provides readers with several definitions of euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide ("PAS") as well as some historic data. The act of euthanasia has its origin in Greek. First word euthanasia is mentioned in old Greek literature. The term euthanasia is composed from two Greek words. Eu which means good or normal and Thanatos which means death. The word euthanasia can be literally translated as a "good death". It should be mentioned that during the centuries the meaning of euthanasia has changed. Today's understanding of euthanasia is ending ones life in order to relieve...
