Euthanasia (in terms of some European countries - comparison)
Matuchová, Helena ; Císařová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Sovová, Olga (referee)
Résumé Euthanasia is and always will be a hot topic of very heated debate among both non specialists and experts. The purpose of my thesis is to provide the reader with information about euthanasia and a list of rules dealing with the issue of euthanasia in selected countries. The introduction outlines the problems of euthanasia. The second chapter is devoted to clarifying the content of the notion of euthanasia, which comes from the Greek word for the phrase, "eu" meaning good and "thanatos" meaning death, a "good death", sometimes we can also meet the looser translation of euthanasia as a beautiful death. The content of the notion of euthanasia in the course of history changed. Today we see euthanasia as an act which one person intentionally ends the life of another person's own request with the intent to end her suffering. In the chapter are identified and defined forms of euthanasia, especially active and passive. The third chapter deals with the European Union's attitude to euthanasia. No law of the European Union explicitly addressed the euthanasia. Health policy in principle falls within the competence of national governments. And every Member State has its own position on the issue of euthanasia. In this chapter, I mention the idea and recommendations of the Council of Europe, though it isn't the...

KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ HAVLOVÁ, Jitka
The thesis provides a comprehensive view of the "good death" and euthanasia from antiquity to the 1930s. It describes the attitudes of physicians and other scholars in different historical periods. The research is based on published sources and literature. The author examines the phenomenon in general, compares published sources and makes a comparison of the phenomenon from a historical perspective. The first part describes basic terminology related to the topic. Death and dying are viewed from the historical and ethical points of view. The second part describes the individual historical periods from antiquity to the 1930s in terms of social and cultural changes. The emphasis is placed on the opinions of philosophers, scholars and doctors about good death and euthanasia. The general view on death and euthanasia is even better illustrated by the medical care of a given period, the development of medical science and medicine. The thesis presents a theoretical base from which information for practical research of the phenomenon of death can be drawn. The examined phenomenon could be equally important and challenging for the present.

Euthanasy from the sight of medical staff in picked-up South-Bohemian hospitals
OPOVÁ, Lenka
The main topic of this thesis was to find out how people view today the issue of euthanasia and what arguments they see for and against its legalization. The theoretical part is focused on the history of suicide and abuse of euthanasia in Nazi Germany, the legislation and attitude of individual states that permit or tolerate the merciful death or assisted suicide and the opinions of some Czech personalities. The empirical part expresses the views of nurses and with the help of a quantitative research, we are trying to find out if they are adequately informed in this field. By using an anonymous questionnaire we learn whether they agree or disagree with the legalization of euthanasia in the Czech Republic and whether their age, department they work in and the frequency of meetings with the dying patient has an effect on their opinion.

Euthanasie v praxi
Kampleitner, Ralph ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Gasser, Georg (referee)
In the interplay of critical and self-conscious patients and an ever-aging society the question arises how far patient autonomy sensibly should go and which parameters are deemed to be relevant for end-of-life-decisions. The progress in medicine over the last decades has led on one hand to the possibility of saving lives and maintaining them in situations where before it seemed to be impossible. Nowadays Therefore more and more people are afraid that this boom can be to their detriment when it prolongs instead of shortens their suffering. The fear of unbearable pain and of loss of control fuels the discussion about whether or not euthanasia is morally permissible and should be legalized. This thesis deals with the questions: What speaks in favor of and against the legalization of euthanasia? What forms of treatment are subsumed under the term "euthanasia"? What is the current legal situation in Austria? How far should patient autonomy go? In order to answer these questions a literature research was done which revealed that active euthanasia is not allowed in Austria but in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and partly allowed in Switzerland. Interviews conducted among medical staff showed that medical personnel in Austria mostly are in favor of active euthanasia because they are not satisfied with the end of life care that is provided at the moment. They also embrace the trend of patient autonomy and think that patients can have the autonomous wish to end their lives but that it is difficult to determine a patient's autonomy. The reason for this is that autonomy is a gradual value that comprises patients' capacity as well as patients' long-standing goals, values, and preferences that were developed during their life. Therefore it can be concluded that increasing the availability of appropriate end-of-life care could be a solution that prevents medical staff from taking uncomfortable decisions and still enables patients to die in a dignified way.
