Abstract
The article is devoted to one the most acute issues of bioethics, namely, the issues of legal approaches to euthanasia. The institute of euthanasia is commonly investigated in ethical and philosophical contexts. However, there is no any comprehensive legal research of the issue under consideration. Due to the fact that the Russian Federation public order prohibits euthanasia, the study is based on comparative analysis of legal and historical resources, as well as case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The author represents the general historical review of development of approaches to the institute of euthanasia.
