摘要:The relation between the so-called old and new medical ethics has been analysed in this article through the concrete medical ethical topic of euthanasia. The recent data about the releasing sentence for dr. Kevorkain in 1996, who was accused of helping his patients in committing suicide, and the first active euthanasia that was carried out in 1995 in Australia, are proof enough for the conclusion that a new medical ethics is making its way into modern medicine, although it is not neglecting the resistance of Hippocraticor "old" ethics regarding some old ethical topics in medicine, one of which is euthanasia.
