연명시술의 중단에 관한 법적 연구 = 존엄사를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There has been much debate on the issue of withholding life-sustaining medical care for the terminal cancer patients, since the judicial decision of the The Supreme Court for the Kim grandmother. The withholding life-sustaining treatment can be accepted only to “Patient after reaching the stage of irrecoverable death”.
This paper is about withholding life-sustaining and Euthanasia. Euthanasia, or voluntary assisted suicide, has been the subject of much moral, religious, philosophical, legal and human rights debate in Korea. At the core of this debate is how to reconcile competing values. For example, the desire of individuals to choose to die with dignity when suffering, and the need to uphold the inherent right to life of every person, as recognised by article 6(1) of the ICCPR(International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights); PART III Article 6(1), Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.
Definitions are followed. Euthanasia: Euthanasia is the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. Voluntary euthanasia: When the person who is killed has requested to be killed. Non-voluntary: When the person who is killed made no request and gave no consent. Involuntary euthanasia: When the person who is killed made an expressed wish to the contrary. Assisted suicide: Someone provides an individual with the information, guidance, and means to take his or her own life with the intention that they will be used for this purpose. When it is a doctor who helps another person to kill themselves it is called “physician assisted suicide.” Euthanasia By Action: Intentionally causing a person’s death by performing an action such as by giving a lethal injection. Euthanasia By Omission: Intentionally causing death by not providing necessary and ordinary (usual and customary) care or food and water.
In conclusion, we must be wary of those who are too willing to end the lives of the elderly and the ill. If we ever decide that a poor quality of life justifies ending that life, we have taken a step down a slippery slope that places all of us in danger.
