Euthanasia is a subject which causes dilemmas and problems in ethics and should be considered and discussed within every detail. The aim of this study is to displaye how euthanasia is taken into consideration in European, especially in German, Austria and Swiss law systems. Additionally, after having studied the judicial legislations abuot Euthanasie in Europe and the USA, it is emphasized that the present legislation in our country, especially Turkish Criminal Code which has been valid since 2005 and the Turkish Regulations for Deontology which has been valid since 1960, should be modified in the western direction in order to keep up with the developments in the west.
