AbstractIn the article, the author conducts a reasoning which results in a moral consent to perform an act of euthanasia on oneself. However, the problem of our times is the demand for the right to assisted euthanasia, particularly the doctor-assisted euthanasia. It is argued that the only situation in which an assistance in performing euthanasia finds a moral justification is a situation of a complete physical incapability to terminate a patient's own life. It is also argued that an assistant cannot be a doctor because in such a case we would be forced to acknowledge euthanasia as the final stage of the treatment process.
