Translated title:
Euthanasia of healthy animals and its impact on the life of veterinarians. Legal, Bioethical and Religious dimensions.
Summary:
One of the most challenging issues both human and animal medicine have been faced with along their historical route is euthanasia. In this essay we shall focus on animal euthanasia and especially on the termination of the life of overall healthy animals. How do veterinarians experience it? How does any doctor experience the ''care-kill'' paradox? What does the legislator command? What questions does ethics pose? How do various religions get implicated?
The method of research selected being the Comparative between the two faculties, we shall initially look into their common historical origins, their common historical path, their mutual scope and finally their transformation through time and space. This will enable us to estimate beyond any biases the various parameters of the issue of animal euthanasia and the expectations one would have, based on the close relation between human and animal medicine. In the end, we shall further immerse into healthy animal euthanasia and its consequences on both veterinarians and the society.
