Euthanasia Formulation Policy in Indonesia's Criminal Legislation and Implications for Patient Life

: No religion is recognized in Indonesia that allows euthanasia to be carried out. Because indeed an action in English called mercy killing or murder based on mercy can also be said to be contradictory to its name, where in carrying out the manifestation of mercy it is precisely what is done is to take the life of man, the gift of the Almighty and should be respected and guarded. Formulation of Article 344 of the Criminal Code concerning euthanasia has a weakness, among others: The existence of elements: at the request of the person himself expressed with sincerity, which makes it difficult to prove and prosecute. Article 344 of the Criminal Code is about active euthanasia, whereas the law of passive euthanasia is not regulated. Delict euthanasia is an ordinary offense, and is not an offense, so it is demanded the tenacity and sharpness of the investigating apparatus and investigators to reveal whether an act of euthanasia has been committed.
