Even though today, in some countries, euthanasia is legalized, (the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, four US states, Luxembourg, Canada, etc., well-known doctors note that such laws have caused a significant increase in so-called "voluntary death"). Also, a significant number of doctors and nurses observe in their activities that very often relatives of incurable people want euthanasia, not terminally ill. [2] And assure in their speeches about the erroneousness of legalization euthanasia is not yet legalized: [3] In our opinion, there will always be a possibility for Ukraine to evade the letter of the law, because, in case of legalization of euthanasia, doctors will become judges, who will have the final say in choosing the "least evil".
The moral content of medical care for terminally ill patients should be filled with the desire to improve and enhance medical activities from the moment of diagnosis until the death of the patient. Such care should be tailored to human needs, including psychological and spiritual services in addition to medical care. the moral side of the use and legalization of euthanasia is unacceptable. A positive moral attitude to euthanasia applies only to a society that is fully material, and does not consider human life the highest value, because material life is inextricably linked only with external beauty, physical health and economic well-being. After all, all the existing reasons that are called for the attempt to legalize euthanasia are the "moral faces" of modern society: physical pain, despair, fear of becoming a burden to loved ones, contempt of medical staff, dislike and indifference of relatives and friends. Proponents of euthanasia, who emphasize the humanity of "relieving pain" of the patient, primarily aim to relieve suffering from themselves, because it is always harder for a person to tolerate the patient in his suffering than to decide on his death.
The phenomenon of the right to life in medical ethics follows from the moral and legal principles of the modern world. There is no category of "right to die" in any legal act and it cannot be deduced from any legal document. The purpose of the doctor's activity is to protect life, which is referred to in all legal acts of the European Community and other developed countries. Thus, international human rights standards cannot be interpreted as guaranteeing the "right to die". In our opinion, euthanasia is premeditated murder to stop unnecessary suffering
