Fernando Verdú Professor of Legal Medicine, Department of Forensic and Legal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Valencia EG, Spain. 2015 10 04 2021 01 10 Medically provoked death, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is a common issue for discussion in various forums, participants coming from widely differing fields of knowledge, among who are, of course, doctors. Substantial legal differences exist in Europe on this issue and in an ever-wider Europe, it is essential, for practical reasons, that legislation be standardised. We would like to propose possible regulations that would provide effective safeguards in the application of euthanasia or assisted suicide. https://jmehm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jmehm/article/view/32 https://jmehm.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jmehm/article/download/32/17
