安樂死立法歷程之跨國比較分析
Transnational Comparative Analysis of the Legislative Process of Euthanasia
摘要
人口老化已成為近幾世紀全球人口變動之主要趨力，善終之相關議題日漸受到重視，從各國家對於生命末端之相關醫療及制定之相關政策，能觀察出現代社會與傳統時代對於生死的談論不再相同，現代社會談論生死的話題的已不再忌諱。「安樂死」之政策制定中，其中涉及的層面也屬多元，如醫療、法律或是宗教等層面，不同層面之觀點背後對於安樂死一詞之看法不盡相同，而觀點的不一致，皆可能致於支持方與反對方產生對立，也可能促成政策立法時的絆腳石原因之一。本文試圖以執行安樂死之國家為主體，採及二手文獻資料回顧與梳理，並藉以文獻資料回顧的方式，進行探索式資料整理與分析，以茲探討下列相關層面議題，爬梳相關先進國家之「安樂死」政策與理念，如荷蘭、比例時、瑞士、美國、英國、盧森堡、哥倫比亞、西班牙、紐西蘭及加拿大，其十國政策之相關內容分析與梳理。藉此釐清各國制定安樂死政策之定義及了解安樂死政策歷程及其理念。
