A first projcct of a legał act on cuthanasia m Polane! was claboratod m Novcmbcr of 2004 as a copyright projcct prepared by a meraber of tbc Senate - higher cham ber of Polish Parliamcnt. The projcct had not bcco sent for Parliamenfs discussion. It provided thal a doctor does not bear pcnal responsibility for cuthanasia if hc performs cuthanasia with adhcrcnce to detailod. spccificd procedurę.¹* In the justification of the projcct, refcrcocc was mado to lega! Solutions adoptod in Holland and Bclgium, and raiscd an argument that Icgalization of euthanasia could causc elimination of tbc number of illcgal and $ccrctivc practiccs.

In the end, it nccds to be sak! that for the purposc of this report, the word cuthanasia in Poland, constitutes an offencc. in the meaning of the pcnal codc,^M whilc it is hard to dctcrminc a scalę of the dark number of thcsc oftencts, that is numerical data on acts that actually took place and have not becn disclosed.

Thcrc arc no current premises to make prcdiclions whether this stale of aflairs m the area of law is going to change in the futurę. To legalize euthanasia woułd rcquirc a prcvious change in the hierarchy of legał goods bascd on commonly acccptcd asiology. It is hard to prediet today whether, and if. this hierarchy of legał goods. acccptcd by the Polish society, will change in such a direction as to justify any dccisions of the lcgislature to c*cludc pcnal responsibility of a mcdical doctor for committing an act of euthanasia.

I. I/INTRODUCTION

Dans Ic proces pcnal polonais. il y a peu dc tcmps cncorc, une vuc dassique ćtait de rigueur qui considćruit comme principc Ic modćlc impćratif dc la rćsolution des conflits apparaissant dans la sphćre du droit pćnal. Bień que prćsentement le conflit entre la victimc ct 1'accusć soit toujours rćsolu principalcmcnt a 1'aidc des moyens traditionncls, c’cst-a-dirc par la voic des actioas proccssuelles formaiisćcs qui sc suivent les unes les autres, dc plus cn plus frćquemmcnt les mesures d'un caructćrc conciliutoirc sont utilisćs dans la procedurę pćaalc. Ccltc tcndance est d'un cótć Ic fnnt de rcfficacitó insuffisantc dc 1’administration dc la justice basćc sur le modele traditionnel des procćdures longue* et compiiqućcs ct dc Tautre eUe est le rćsultat des grands frais finaocicrs quc cc modele genem.

En Polognc la pcrccption du role du proces pćnal a commcncć a changer vers la fin des annees quutrc-vingt-dix. Aux cótes des dćfauts du systćmc judiaairc citćs ci-dessus qui ont constitue une impulsion importante aux changcmcnts il a ćtć considćrć quc Ic but du proces pćnal devrail consistcr non seulement en punition dc rafTairc. mais aussi cn l'cxtinction du conflit qui a surgi a la suitę de la perpetration du dćltt. Nous avons commcncć i voir la victimc ct a comprcndrc quc set intćrćts dcvraicnt etre pris cn comptc dans la procedurę cn cours. Unc importance de plus cn plus croissante a ćtć donnec a la conciliation des partics ct a la satisfaction des dcmandcs dc la victimc y compris a la rćparation du tort causć par le ddit. Dermercment un phenomenc caractćristiquc vicnt dc sc manifester par la tendance « de civiliscr » le proces pćnal ś l’aidc dc 1'incitation du malfaiteur i reparer Ic tort causć i la suitę du ddit et a diminer Ic conflit apparu a la suitę du delit a 1'amiahle.
