Abstract
In this study, this paper focuses on the study of euthanasia of COVID-19 patients, which causes the endless spread of COVID-19 and the possible practice of euthanasia assumed by Western medical personnel, as well as the ongoing debate over euthanasia because it is related to religious views. The above-mentioned motives are some factors that the paper attempts with an analytical descriptive writing method that cites references from several literatures such as books, journals, previous research and digital literacy. The study concludes that in Indonesia, although the Criminal Code does not explicitly mention the word euthanasia, however, based on the provisions of Article 344 of the Criminal Code, doctors should refuse to take this action even if the patient's family wishes. According to law, social norms, religion and ethics of doctors, euthanasia is not allowed. It is because the country of Indonesia, which has a majority Muslim population and religion, is in conflict with the issue.

Euthanasia itself is taken from the Greek language, namely eu which means good, without suffering and thanatos which means death with the meaning euthanasia is an act that is desired to end the life of a patient so that he is free from the burden of the malignant disease he is suffering from
Summary
The world is currently facing a challenging pandemic circumstance. The rapid extent of the virus has affected the percentage of COVID-19 patients to upsurge. This was done because of the cost factor and the small possibility of his wife's life being This case has attracted public attention because of the practice of euthanasia that is not in accordance with indigenous ethics (Yudaningsih, 2015). It is different from the West, where the existence of euthanasia is no longer marginalized, even euthanasia is one of the objects that has been legalized and regulated in criminal law (Setiawan, 2015). Euthanasia in Indonesia is still a subject of endless debate, because of the legality and position of the Islamic religious conviction that dominates Indonesian society
