다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Measures to ensure his best interests for patient living in unbearable pain, such as terminal patients, while respecting his right to self-deter mination include the weakest phase of life-sustaining treatment, interm ediate phase of medically assisted suicide, and the strongest phase of a ctive euthanasia.
Our society has gone through a process of controversy and labor not only in the fields of religion, philosophy, and law, but also in the proces s of legislating the suspension of life-sustaining treatment. However, a partial Amendment to ACT ON HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE CARE AN D DECISIONS ON LIFE-SUSTAINING TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS AT THE END OF LIFE was proposed on June 15 to recognize the righ t to die as a content of self-determination and to legislate Doctor-Ass isted death with dignity. As is well known, PAS is an area where the r ight to life and self-determination are sharply conflicting. Even if we l ook at each country’s acceptance process for PAS suicide, it seems diff icult to see whether the proposed Amendment will be passed.
Moreover, our criminal law strictly punishes aiding and abetting of suici de, unlike countries that are relatively tolerant of suicide. Under the cu rrent law, doctors who help implement PAS cannot avoid punishment fo r aiding and abetting suicide. Nevertheless, the main point of the Amen dment is that Article 252 (2) of the Criminal Act does not apply to do ctors.
In the constitutional and medical circles, various discussions have alrea dy been conducted on the subject, implementation method, and followup management of PAS. I don't think we can delay the review of the b ill to allow doctors to assist in the study from the perspective of crimi nal law in the situation where the amendent bill has been submitted.
Therefore, based on the laws of Netherlands and Oregon, where protoc ols are relatively thorough and elaborately defined, I analyzed Amendme nt Bill from the perspective of criminal law. In light of the importance of the protocol, I reviewed the scope of those subject of Doctor-Assis ted death with dignity, the procedure for determining and implementing, the duties and composition of the review committee, the exemption of criminal responsibility for assistance of doctors, and follow-up manage ment.
