NEW MEDICAL ETHICS AND EUTHANASIA

Sažetak
The relation between the so-called old and new medical ethics
has been analysed in this article through the concrete medical
ethical topic of euthanasia. The recent data about the releasing
sentence for dr. Kevorkain in 1996, who was accused of helping
his patients in committing suicide, and the first active euthanasia
that was carried out in 1995 in Australia, are proof enough for the
conclusion that a new medical ethics is making its way into modern
medicine, although it is not neglecting the resistance of Hippocraticor
"old" ethics regarding some old ethical topics in medicine,
one of which is euthanasia.
