JURIDICAL REVIEW OF EUTHANASIA'S CRIMINAL ACTS IN THE INDONESIAN CRIMINAL LAW SYSTEM
Abstract
Euthanasia is the act of ending the life of someone who is seriously ill and has a very small life expectancy, which is meant to relieve suffering. The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze euthanasia arrangements in the Indonesian criminal law system and to find out whether euthanasia can be decriminalized based on the current Indonesian criminal law system. Patients who are seriously ill and have a very low life expectancy are often the reason for euthanasia either on his own or his family's wishes. In the Criminal Code, this action is included in Article 344 of the Criminal Code. For now, the Indonesian criminal law system is experiencing difficulties in proving euthanasia due to the absence of a detailed criminal formulation regarding euthanasia, then the decriminalization of euthanasia cannot be justified at this time.Keywords: Euthanasia, KUHP, Criminal Law Policy
