https://doi.org/10.56943/jcj.v2i3.381The discussion of euthanasia cannot be separated from the relationship between doctors and patients. From the dimension of civil law, the relationship between doctors and patients is a contract of medical services; the doctor is obliged to provide the best treatment and will not demand the treatment results since it involves actions against living tissue, which humans cannot fully control. However, the therapeutic contract can be implemented for medical actions that do not treat the living tissues of the human body. This research aims to identify which article of the Criminal Code (KUHP) that provides law and regulation regarding the practice of euthanasia in Indonesia. The approach used in this research is a normative juridical approach. The normative juridical approach uses laws and regulations and examines all laws and regulations related to legal issues and conceptual approaches from the perspective and doctrines of law. The research findings identified that there are no articles that regulate and mention explicitly, clearly and concretely regarding euthanasia. Articles 340, 344, 345 and Article 304 jo 306 Paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code are considered the closest to euthanasia, even though the articles do not explicitly and concretely explain euthanasia.
