    AbstractMany of the judicial and ethical questions raised by euthanasia are still the subject of controversial discussions. In this context the article broaches the issues of the doctor- patient relationship, patient's right to autonomy, and advance directive.

Finally, there is an outlook on the role of palliative care and of hospices.
