واکاوی اتانازی بر اساس ماده 372 قانون مجازات اسلامی

Euthanasia is still a controversial issue worldwide. There are different and sometimes contradictory opinions about euthanasia and its practice.  By exchange of ideas and opinions about this issue, some countries have explicitly accepted euthanasia and it has been legalized. Whereas, some other countries distinctly rejected euthanasia and in result it has been criminalized. Among countries there is a third group, with a passive or neutral position. In those countries, like Iran, the acceptance or rejection of euthanasia has been discussed among the law experts but there is no legislation to address the issue. This article aims to evaluate euthanasia based on the Article 372 of Iran's Islamic penal code.
