A LAW GIVING LNCURABLES RIGHT TO DIE
WILL AUSTRIA PASS 1T?

WILL Az
What would you think of a law
that compelled a physician to kill a
person afflicted with an. incurable
disease if the person afflicted asked
him to do so?
A strong effort is being made by
party in the parliament of Austria,
which styles itself progressive, to
bring about the enactment of a stat
ute to that effect. And the news
papers and magazines of that coun-
try are full of it. There is a strong
popular feeling that the law should
be enacted, and from the way in
which it is talked about in the papers
it would appear that the legislature
favOrs it.
The problem of euthanasia, as re-
lieving incurables with death is call
ed, has been more or less of a pop
ular question for many years. Every
once in a. while it appears on the
surface Of affairs and is generally dis
cussed. Two or three years ago the
people of the United States were in
the throes of a discussion Of this kind
occasioned by the killing Of the mem
Der Of religious sect living in Flor
ida, who was incurably diseased.
Some members of the medical pro-
fession favor the proposition and
there is said to be some favor found
in it by the eugenists.
The law proposed in Austria is
quite comprehensive and clearly de-
fines the circumstances under which
a man can ask to be killed and re-
ql1ire the services of a physician to
accomplish his death. The bill pro-
Tides that every person suffering

IA PASS 1T?
from an incurable disease shall be
entitled to die and to get euthanasia,
which literally means help for
dying"
Such a person will be required to
appear before the nearest court of
justice and state his case. The court
then directs the examination Of the
applicant by the court physician and
two competent specialists. If these
three experts agree that the person
is afflicted with a disease which is
more likely to terminate fatally than
to be cured and that the applicant
should be helped to die, the court
grants permission and the applicant
is free to die either by his own hand
or with the assistance Of physician.
No person, however, will be held
liable to punishment who assists the
applicant to die. 1t is clearly stated,
however, that killing a patient incur
ably diseased without his expressed
wish will be punishable as murder.
In case the person who desires Gu
thanasia is not able to make appH-
cation and is assisted to death, post
mortem examination of the body is
made and if the examination dis
closes that the man was inflicted with
an incurable disease the person who
assisted him to die is allowed to go
free.
If, however, it is found that the
dead man could have been cured, the
person who assisted him to die is held
for murder. Crippled or manned per-
sons are held, under the proposed
law, to be in the same category as
persons with incurable diseases.
