Eutanazja - znak naszych czasów

Abstract

Death is a universal phenomenon, it happens touches every person. One of the aspects of wide concern regarding death is euthanasia. It invokes much controversy, with some people being supporters whilst others being opposed against it. In some countries euthanasia has been legalized. The Catholic Church is decidedly against euthanasia, but at the same time is critical of the use of excessive therapy. Public opinion in Western Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia supports the allowance of the use of euthanasia. In Poland most people reject such a possibility, however the number of supporters of death by personal choice” in recent years has increased.
