WMA Resolution on Euthanasia

The declaration of euthanasia of the World Medical Association was adopted at the 38th World Medical Congress held in Madrid, Spain in October 1987, and the 170th WMA held in Divon-les-Bains, France in May 2005 It was reconfirmed at the council. :

"Superiority deliberately ends the unintended patient's life intentionally despite patient's own demands or demands of close relatives, which prevents the doctor from respecting the hope that the doctor wishes to forgive the patient's nature It is not a process of death occurring at the final stage of the disease. "

It was adopted at the 44th World Medical Conference held in Marbella, Spain in September 1992, and the 170th WMA Council held in Divonne-les-Bains in France in May 2005. Edited and modified, also pointed out:

"As in euthanasia, doctors need to help suicide and be blamed by the medical community, if the doctor's help is to deliberately and deliberately lead his life to end, the doctor is immoral The right is the patient's basic right, and even if such desire is respected for causing the patient to die, the doctor will not take unethical behavior.

The World Medical Association reaffirmed its belief that euthanasia is inconsistent with the basic ethical principles of medical practice,

The World Medical Association strongly encourages not all domestic medical associations and doctors to participate in euthanasia, even if domestic law permits or non-criminalizes certain conditions

In response to the legalization of assistance for suicide in Australia, the World Medical Association (WMA) has issued a statement reaffirming strong opposition to doctors supporting suicide and euthanasia. In addition, WMA strongly encourages all domestic medical associations and physicians not to participate in euthanasia, either under domestic laws or under certain conditions. It is non-criminalized. This statement is unmistakable. It should be praised and, more importantly, it should be inspired

It should be emphasized that today's public international law and most of the world's medical ethics prohibit euthanasia. (1) WMA also repeated this prohibition in its "Euthanasia Declaration" (1987). This behavior is immoral. On the other hand, competent patients have the right to refuse any treatment, even if they refuse to die. If every effort is made to provide patients with information about the treatment available and the likelihood of success for the physician, the patient must be respected. "Please make your decision.
