연명의료결정법과 보험법적 쟁점에 관한 연구

Human life is a biological foundation of human dignity and a core legal benefit that maintains human status as the subject of all individual fundamental rights. Human beings are born and ends life by dying. Death refers to the quiescent state of the biological function that supports a living tissue. In the legal sense, death is a kind of event and has a significant meaning in the civil and criminal law. Death that does not involve human action or force appears to be entirely natural, but when human death is artificially intervened, legal assessment and handling are different. On the other hand, in order to establish the strict duties of the patients and the self-determination of the patients, the hospice, palliative care and dying Patients' longevity in the process was legislated for health care decisions. The meaning of death in an insurance contract means that the case of death is a kind of insurance accident or insurance payment reason. Insurance accidents in life insurance are death or survival, death and survival. From the viewpoint of insurance law, death from illness is classified as general death and in case of death due to various accidents such as accident or injury, it becomes the object of payment of accidental death benefit or injury death benefit. It is a question whether the accidents (diseases or disasters) leading to a terminal illness can be regarded as insurance accidents under Article 638 of the Commercial Act, and whether to claim accidental death benefit as a result of a disaster. Therefore, I would like to examine the legal significance of medical aid-in-dying and its implementation, and check the related issues in advance to minimize the confusion caused by the implementation of the law.
