Abstract :
Who is the owner of human life and body? Hu-man civilization is trying to answer this question for centuries, but without great success. These are seemingly philosophical questions; however, responses can have quite practical consequences . If a person who is in the terminal phase, in a certain situation wish to end his/her life, this can happen with the active or passive role of a physi-cian. In the Republic of Serbia, as the country in which euthanasia (hereinafter: VAE) is prescribed as a criminal offense , there have not been many empirical types of research in relation to the attitudes of the population about VAE.
