Sažetak
In this work the author points to the problems of human life, its dingity, inviolability of life in the contest of contemporary social developments, when some ideas about high-quality life and low-quality life have showed up and when there are views that a person has a claim upon his/her „dignified“ death and dying. In the light of Christian views, Pope John Paul II, in thi encyclical letter „Evangelium Vitae“, has spoken again on man and life, on validation and inviolability of human life, on its dignity and meaning. Thus, the author presents the teaching of John Paul II on the values and meaning of life, on integrity and sacredness of life, as well as on the inviolability of an innocent human being. In the second part the author speaks about the drama of euthanasia and he analyses the term, kinds and definition of euthanasia. In the end he brings out the teaching of the encyclical letter „Evangelium Vitae“ on euthanasia and dignity of death and dying.
