Abstract
The practice of euthanasia in the medical context has a plurality of actors and interests, has ethical issues and the definition of "good death" is complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to be clear about the key concepts in the debate about this practice. But, above all we must ask ourselves to what extent euthanasia or assisted suicide contradicts the medical ethos in contemporary culture, aiming to evaluate the most acceptable medical and ethical options in our pluralistic societies. Only after such reflection and clarification, we will be able to understand the ethical conflicts of this practice and propose the appropriate ethical guidelines.
