Abstract

The article presents an analysis on the practice of euthanasia based on the Roman Catholic perspective in Belgium. It explores the importance of the palliative care team for patients requesting euthanasia because they were held responsible to consider the needs of patients. It provides a clarification of the Belgian euthanasia act which is relevant in sketching the palliative filter procedure.
