  • Meanings of ʺright to die with dignityʺ [Elektronski vir] : a study in a European context
    Stražišar, Borut, 1965- ; Stražišar, Branka
    There has been the suspicion that doctors in Europe, due to the prevalence of medical paternalism in European culture, have interpreted the idea of ʺpatients right to die with dignityʺ in reference ... to their inability to treat or giving up on treating the dying patients. Meanwhile, some European countries took a pragmatic position and legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide tailored to their social context, which is the move that acknowledges patientʹs right than the doctorsʹ inability to provide cure for their patients. This paper visits briefly the historical developments of patients right and dying with dignity in Europe and explores some conceptual options how European doctors can understand such right in a clinical context.
