Abstract
Euthanasia is to make a patient die intentionally in order to set him/her free from agony or pain according to his/her own will. In other word, it shows a citizen's desire on death and dying without any pain or agony. This problem has developed with the development of bioethics. In Japan, some miserable cases were judged properly. Especially the 6 'points on euthanasia which Nagoya high court showed were marked internationally and gave much influence to many cases on euthanasia in many countries. The case on euthanasia of Tokai university were found guilty, but was in more consideration of the doctor's circumstances. In Holland, the euthanasia has been admitted by the law, but the conditions are severe and the circumstances are not easy. It is still now under trials and errors internationally. But, now the time has come for every citizen to consider about his/her own death and dying by him/herself.
