Therefore, active euthanasia is either totally rejected or – under certain strictly defined circumstances – very cautiously considered and partly admitted. There are considerable differences concerning the views on the due forms of passive euthanasia. Anyhow, the religious traditions provide different contexts for medical, ethical and juridical acting depending on special world-views. World-views, which give specific answers to the meaning of human life and death. |
