Fear of Death, its Interdisciplinary Characteristic and Dialog Research Method
MUSILOVÁ, Magdalena
Fear of death is related to the way we live, affects individuals and affects the attitude of a whole society. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. In the theoretical part, a definition of concept of ethics and bioethics can be found as well as a discussion of the differing perceptions of the value of human life, basic information about euthanasia and the possibilities for palliative and hospice care. Furthermore, different views on the fear of death are noted as are presented by representatives of several areas - anthropologists, psychologists, theologians and sociologists. In the next part an interdisciplinary overview of the fear of death is compiled, which forms the theoretical basis for the practical part of the work. In this part a qualitative research was carried out through half structured interviews on fear of death. Comparing the results with outcomes from the theoretical part, it was found that death is a taboo topic in a society and that the fear of death is natural. In line with the used literature, most respondents have a great fear of the process of dying itself than of the death itself. From this point of view it was uncovered, that there is a relatively low awareness of the possibilities of palliative care between respondents.

Etical Aspects of Euthanasia
NOVÁKOVÁ, Alžběta
I chose the topic "euthanasia" because of its actuality, obscurity and complexity. There are many definitions, opinions, suggestions etc. concerning euthanasia. The main task of this work is explanation of the meaning of the term "euthanasia". In the theoretical part the work deals with the definition and forms of euthanasia. If possibilities of medical cure is exhausted, there are also lenitive and hospice care. That's why I deal with these topics too in my work. In the historical part of the work I study history of the problem: especially in Antiquity, in the Modernity, and in the time of Nazi Regime in Germany. In this context I considered the modern ethical theory -- utilitarianism and its main proponents. Very interesting and important question is the relationship of religion to the problem of euthanasia. That's why I studied some document of the Catholic Church concerning euthanasia. It is not possible to omit arguments of both defenders of euthanasia and its opponents. Very important chapter is legislation -- in Czech Republic and in some countries in Europe, where some experiences with euthanasia exist. The final part of the work is the discussion to the topic and especially one particular case.
