Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether asserting the right to end life with assistance at the universal level is a useful tool to resolve the controversy of euthanasia. My discussion is set up within the realm of international human rights law, a context, which raises also problems of its own, since some of the most basic questions of international human rights law have yet to receive conclusive answers.
