| Title | Dying with Dignity: Reaching a Consensus in the Council of Europe |
| Summary | The paper concerns the issue of assisted suicide and its development in countries of the Council of Europe. Assisted suicide has always maintained to be a highly debatable issue, thus, states of the Council of Europe were left with a wide margin of appreciation and no general regulation on the matter. Some states have a progressive approach towards the issue, while others treat the issue very strictly. Meanwhile, citizens of these states face certain issues when applying for assisted suicide. The research attempts to identify whether there is a prognosis of reaching a consensus in regulating assisted suicide in the states of the Council of Europe. It addresses the perception of assisted suicide, how it is dealt with by state regulations, and how it is perceived in courts. The position of this paper is to state that assisted suicide with time gains more attention and recognition, thus it is advisable that states of the Council of Europe reach a consensus in dealing with assisted suicide in the near future. |
