The article presents the case of Dr. Aleck Bourne, which the author proposes to include in the catalog of borderline cases constituting the basis for in-depth discussions on ethical and legal aspects of human life with regard to the development of biology and medicine. The starting point is the presentation of the worldwide models for regulating the practice of abortion as well as the Polish regulation, together with a discussion on the role of the Constitutional Tribunal in shaping current legal provisions. The author notes that the interpretation of the right to life adopted by the Tribunal encourages the repeal of the indication model and the introduction of a complete ban on abortion, which will have significant consequences for ordinary legislation. Apart from describing the facts in the Bourne case, the strategy adopted by the defense and the sentence itself, the possible further areas of considerations regarding the limits of permissibility of termination of pregnancy have been signaled. Then, the conclusions resulting from legal analysis of the case were transferred to the exegesis of the constitutional principles of the right to life and the right to healthcare. Their constitutional form, interpretation resulting from the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal and the ordinary legislation have been presented. The author indicates the main terminological deficiencies identified in this respect: the lack of any definition of the beginning of a human being, the existence of two separate criteria for determining death, which could lead to different results and the lack of an unambiguous definition of disease adopted by the legislator. Based on the concepts presented in the case, the right to healthcare has been defined as a legal right resulting from the right to life. The final thesis is that there are no grounds for hierarchizing these rights, as they are intertwined in content and function.

The euthanasia is a quite old phenomenon. This phenomenon could be met in the ancient cultures of the ancient world. Today, the euthanasia has been legalized in many European countries and also among others in Canada. In addition, the moral assessment of euthanasia changed, what raises far-reaching doctrinal, political and social divisions. The euthanasia itself is not a unequivocal phenomenon because in practice it is difficult to distinguish and evaluate many phenomena similar to euthanasia. This makes that the legal solutions resonate many doubts and even denial. Together with the development of medicine, it becomes possible to define the biological barriers of life and death. The study is to present different recently conducted disputes on the phenomenon of euthanasia.

Eutanazja jest zjawiskiem dość dawnym. Można z nim spotkać się w dawnych kulturach antycznego świata. Współcześnie eutanazja została zalegalizowana w wielu krajach europejskich, a także m.in. w Kanadzie. Zmieniła się również ocena moralna eutanazji, co budzi daleko idące podziały doktrynalne, polityczne i społeczne. Sama eutanazja nie jest też zjawiskiem jednoznacznym, gdyż w praktyce trudno jest odróż- nić i ocenić wiele zjawisk podobnych do niej. To sprawia, że rozwiązania prawne budzą wiele wątpliwości czy nawet negacji. W miarę rozwoju medycyny coraz bardziej staje się możliwe zdefiniowanie biologicznej bariery życia i śmierci. Przedmiotem opracowania jest przedstawienie różnych współcześnie prowadzonych sporów nad zjawiskiem eutanazji.
