A simpler page for businesses in the EU? Overviewing the Omnibus Packages of Simplification Measures

The article explores the evolving concept of duo euthanasia, where couples choose to die together as an expression of love and autonomy, and how this practice intersects with varying legal and ethical frameworks across Europe. While countries like Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands have legalized assisted dying, often viewing it as a personal right, Cyprus maintains a prohibitionist stance under general criminal law, offering no legal path to euthanasia or assisted suicide.

The article highlights notable cases, including the joint euthanasia of Dutch politician Dries van Agt and his wife, and the controversial manslaughter conviction of David Hunter in Cyprus. As Cyprus considers a limited law allowing assisted dying for terminally ill patients, the article questions whether the country will continue to uphold strict prohibitions or move toward a more compassionate and regulated approach that reflects modern ethical complexities and individual dignity at the end of life.
