About the doctor's attitude to euthanasia

The issue of euthanasia - the acceleration of the death of a patient in a terminal state, at the request of the patient or his relatives - is one of the most difficult issues of medical morality and medical duty. Modern moral and legal considerations reject the possibility of euthanasia. The doctor must, with all the means at his disposal, fight for the patient's life until his last heartbeat. Practice confirms these theses at every step, because what seemed incurable yesterday is already amenable to treatment today. Particularly striking evidence of the inadmissibility of euthanasia are the successes of reanimatology in recent years.
