Magistrska naloga obravnava povezavo med avtonomijo pacienta in evtanazijo. V njej avtorica najprej, s teoretičnega vidika, predstavi pojem avtonomije pacienta in temeljne institute v veljavni zakonodaji, ki varujejo pacientovo avtonomijo. Temu sledi predstavitev umestitve pacientove avtonomije v veljavnem Zakonu o pacientovih pravicah, kot krovnemu aktu na področju pacientovih pravic. Dalje avtorica obravnava omejitve pacientove avtonomije, kot neizogiben del le te, ter osvetli problem še vedno prisotnega paternalističnega odnosa tretjih do pacienta. Naloga se v drugem delu osredotoči na problematiko evtanazije. Evtanazijo avtorica najprej definira, dalje pa, preko prakse Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice in primerjalnopravnega pregleda ureditve na Nizozemskem in v Belgiji, predstavi še izvajanje evtanazije v praksi. Zadnji del naloge je namenjen predstavitvi možnosti odločanja o lastni smrti v našem pravnem redu. Avtorica najprej predstavi veljavno pravno ureditev in možnosti, ki jih imajo pacienti po sedaj veljavni zakonodaji. V nadaljevanju so predstavljeni argumenti tako za, kot proti dopustitvi evtanazije. Na koncu naloge avtorica oriše ureditev evtanazije, ki bi po njenem mnenju morala veljati v Sloveniji. This thesis researches the connection between patient autonomy and euthanasia. The author begins by illustrating the theroretical concept of patient autonomy and the fundamental institutes of existing legislation that safeguard it. This is followed by a presentation of the position taken by patient autonomy in current legislation, with the Patients’ Rights Act as a main act in the field. Furthermore, the author addresses the restrictions to patient autonomy as an unavoidable part of the latter, and illuminates the still present problem of paternalistic behaviour towards patients. The second part of the thesis focuses on the issue of euthansia. First by defining euthanasia, and then, through the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and a comparative analysis of legislative systems in the Netherlands and Belgium, presents the implementation of euthanasia in practice. The last part of the thesis is inteded as a presentation of options regarding end-of-life decisions in the Slovenian legal system. Current legislation is described along with the options that patients have based on it. Arguments for and against allowing the practice of euthanasia are presented before the author outlines a form euthanasia practice which, in her opinion, should be in force in Slovenia. |
