Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss thelegal education of euthanasia from an analytical perspective. The comparative method examined the legal gaps in the framework and psychoeducation discipline in Albania compared to international law. It is specifically focused on several issues such as the treatment of the protection of the right to life under Article 2 of the European Court of Human Rights; exploring the extent of the legal right to live and its relevant education forms; reviewing the implementation of civil law by the EU and especially in Albania and identified other international acts protecting the rights to life and their enforcement powers and conditions and circumstances of abortion and etiologies of abortion as a restriction of the law to life. We would recommend therefore the development of a draft law like the Switzerland one that has to encompass the room left by the unregulated legislation. We believe that the country must change its attitudes toward the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia in very specific cases and under strict regulations both in macro-level policies and in micro-level awareness especially focusing on social and legal education on the issue.
