This is done by administering more patients with terminal stage, for example, morphine. It is quietly practiced and the goal is to put an end to the suffering of patients with incurable diseases. The survey has long shown that the majority of Czech citizens are in favor of euthanasia, but all 10 respondents could not express themselves.In which countries are euthanasia still allowed?\u00b7 Luxembourg – Under strictly defined conditions, a sick person can accept death at the hands of a doctor* Switzerland – This means that a doctor can help a patient like a doctor.In some countries, so-called things are also allowed. Passive euthanasia when treatment is intentionally interrupted*Denmark*France*Ireland*Italy – not a crime, such as cutting from the device in case of brain death\u00b7Germany* FinlandMexico – A terminally ill patient may refuse treatment that prolongs his life                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"euthanasia!
