Abstract
Legal, ethical, and medical issues surrounding euthanasia are particularly complex, especially when analyzing European case law and Kosovo's legislation. These issues involve long-standing debates that pit conflicting interests against one another: on one hand, the protection of the right to life, respect for human dignity, and patient autonomy; on the other, the state's obligation to protect the life and health of the individual. The case law of the European Court of Human Rights indicates that the European Convention on Human Rights does not explicitly provide for a right to die or a right to euthanasia. However, matters concerning the end of life and decision-making may be examined within the scope of the right to life and the right to respect for private and family life, under the Convention. This exploration of euthanasia traverses through ethical, legal, and humanistic perspectives, presenting a comprehensive understanding of a topic that remains both contentious and deeply sensitive in the realm of human rights.
