Euthanasia, the act of ending one's life at one's own request, is a controversial issue that is still being debated in various circles. Some are in favor of euthanasia, while others are against it. This debate seems to never end as diverse opinions are issued for different reasons. This issue is related to the legality of euthanasia in Indonesia, which is expressly regulated in the medical code of ethics. This research aims to conduct a juridical review of two important aspects in the realm of criminal law, namely the criminal offense of euthanasia and the death penalty, by focusing on the applicable positive legal framework. This research uses a normative approach method in the juridical realm. Euthanasia, as a controversial criminal act, will be analyzed from the perspective of legal norms governing health practices and medical ethics. In addition, the death penalty as the highest punishment in the legal system will be studied, with an emphasis on the development of regulations and community views. This research seeks to understand how positive law regulates and influences these two aspects and their impact on the legal system and society as a whole. It is hoped that this research can provide a deep insight into criminal law in the context of euthanasia and the death penalty, as well as help identify changes that may be needed in existing legal regulations and practices.
