Abstract
Words and their obstinacy. A historical approach to terms, their meanings and connotations in the discourse of euthanasia in 20th Century?. The text analyzes the conceptual history of euthanasia in the popular and scien tific discourse. It focus on two short periods of changes, before the outbreak of World War I and during the early 1970s, when new terms were created and new meanings became accepted. These upheavals can be understood as reac tions to changing views and needs. And vice versa new words and meanings, modify the perception and the interpretation of the signified. The main focus of the text is the analysis of these interactions with their specific dynamics on a field which is narrowly connected with individual fears.
