Abstract

Dreptul la viata reprezinta un drept fundamental reglementat de legislatia româna si consacrat în cele mai importante documente internationale referitoare la drepturile omului. Astfel, referitor la reglementarea dreptului la viata în legislatia româneasca amintim ca legea fundamentala a României din 1991 garanteaza, în art. 22 alin. 1 dreptul la viata, precum si dreptul la integritate fizica si psihica al persoanei, art. 26 alin. 2 prevede dreptul fiecarei persoane de a dispune de ea însasi, iar art. 34 al Constitutiei României garanteaza dreptul la ocrotirea sanatatii. În ce priveste documentele internationale care reglementeaza aceste drepturi fundamentale, cele mai importante astfel de documente sunt Declaratia Universala a Drepturilor Omului (art. 3) si Conventia Europeana a Drepturilor Omului (art. 2, 3, 7 si 8). În doctrina s-a pus tot mai pregnant problema daca prin garantarea dreptului la viata nu se garanteaza implicit si libertatea de a muri, mai exact libertatea fiecarei persoane de a alege momentul la care sa renunte la viata. Este vorba despre eutanasie sau moartea medical asistata.
