The South African court system has been faced with requests for the decriminalisation of euthanasia. This paper thoroughly examines on the current legal position of physician-assisted euthanasia (hereafter referred to as “PAE”) in South Africa. South African law permits the withdrawal of life sustaining treatments which may be viewed as passive euthanasia. We examined relevant constitutional rights in order to argue towards a case for the legalization of PAE. These rights include the rights to dignity, to life, to equality, to freedom of religion, belief and opinion, as well as the right to freedom and security of the person. In arguing the foundational bases to legalize PAE we also analyze South Africa’s constitutional law common law, case law, statutory law and foreign law. We also examine the recommendations of the South African Law Commission. The paper also examines how Canada has accepted PAE and implemented legislative measures to safeguard and regulate how medical practitioners practice it"},{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Evtanazija ostaja sporna tema razprav v številnih državah po svetu, tudi v Južni Afriki. Južnoafriški sodni sistem se sooča z zahtevami po dekriminalizaciji evtanazije. Članek predstavlja analizo evtanazije s pomočjo zdravnika (v nadaljnjem besedilu »PAE«) in njenega trenutnega pravnega položaja v Južni Afriki. V članku so opredeljeni ključni pojmi, kot so evtanazija – razlikovanje med aktivno in pasivno evtanazijo ter PAE. Južnoafriška zakonodaja dovoljuje prekinitev življenjsko podpirajočih ukrepov, kar se lahko razume kot pasivna evtanazija. Skozi članek bodo za ustrezno utemeljitev argumenta za legalizacijo PAE preučene relevantne ustavne pravice. Te pravice vključujejo pravico do dostojanstva, pravico do življenja, pravico do enakosti, pravico do verske svobode, kakor tudi pravico do svobode in varnosti posameznika. Pri argumentiranju pravne podlage za legalizacijo PAE se bodo upoštevali ustavno pravo, običajno pravo, sodna praksa in materialno pravo ter tuje (kanadsko) pravo, preučena pa bodo tudi priporočila Južnoafriške pravne komisije. Preučeno bo, kako je izbrana tuja jurisdikcija sprejela PAE ter katere zakonodajne ukrepe zje uvedla za njeno urejanje in zaščito načina, na katerega jo izvajajo zdravniki. Preučena bo zlasti kanadska jurisdikcija in utemeljitev dekriminalizacije PAE s strani kanadskih sodišč. Kanada je namreč sprejela PAE in že implementirala zakonodajne ukrepe za zaščito in ureditev načina izvajanja tovrstne evtanazije s strani zdravnikov"}],"edm:type":"TEXT","dc:type":[{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"znanstveno časopisje"},{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"journals"},{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785"}]},"ore:Aggregation":{"@rdf:about":"http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:DOC-0SAKGR55","edm:aggregatedCHO":{"@rdf:resource":"URN:NBN:SI:DOC-0SAKGR55"},"edm:isShownBy":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-0SAKGR55/bf8547d5-155f-482c-8de3-2c7ecdf69175/PDF"},"edm:rights":{"@rdf:resource":"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"},"edm:provider":"Slovenian National E-content Aggregator","edm:intermediateProvider":{"@xml:lang":"en","#text":"National and University Library of Slovenia"},"edm:dataProvider":{"@xml:lang":"sl","#text":"Univerza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta"},"edm:object":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-0SAKGR55/maxi/edm"},"edm:isShownAt":{"@rdf:resource":"http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-0SAKGR55"}}}}
