The results of a number of sociological studies on the perception of euthanasia by the population, in particular in the Netherlands, Turkey, USA, Finland, also, special attention was paid to the gradual increasement in the percentage of people who support the idea of euthanasia. The concept of euthanasia and the conditions under which it can be carried out are revealed. The legislative provisions of the Netherlands and Belgium regulating euthanasia in these countries were stated. It has been found out that the shortage of consensus among European states on the question of a decent end to human life leads to the existence of a case law of the European Court of Human Rights on euthanasia cases. It is concluded that the introduction of euthanasia is not promising for Ukraine, as it is directly contrary to a number of national legislation acts, first of all the Constitution of Ukraine, also, to international acts, in particular the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and the Founder of Freedoms. It is emphasized that a single position on euthanasia should be chosen at the level of the European Union by the Member States. Keywords: Euthanasia, Right to Die, Right to Personal Autonomy, Patient, Doctor, Health Care, Palliative Care. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, protecting the health of individuals is one of the major issues of each government. However, the issue of euthanasia is one of the most debated in the entire world, due to the lack of a unified approach to the legalization of euthanasia, as well as the concept of the euthanasia origin, which is on the border of medicine and law. At the same time, if we look at the list of states where euthanasia is a legal procedure, we will see that these are mostly highly developed countries: Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Colombia, Luxembourg, France, etc. That is, it is more likely that the socio-economic development of these countries enables them to perceive euthanasia positively and to create the necessary conditions for such procedures. 1544-0044-23-1-448 Volume 23, Issue 1, 2020 1
