In the last decades of the twentieth century, an explosion of therapeutic possibilities in the field of technical medicine has caused such questions to be voiced more and more frequently: Should humans try to live as long as possible, or should they live as long as they can with dignity and then die with dignity?

Piotr Ogrodzki (1958-2013)

The article will situate DayZ into the context of Hobbesian state of nature and explicate elements …

2021
Pursuant to Art. 58 § 1 point 4 of the Code of Commercial Companies dissolution of a general partnership results in the death of the partner of the general partnership. The dissolution of a general partnership starts the process of its liquidation, unless the partners agree on a different method of terminating its activity. The provision of art. 58 § 1 point 4 of the Code of Commercial Companies however, it is a dispositive legal norm, which means that the articles of association of a general partnership may stipulate that the death of a partner is not a basis for its termination. With the death of all partners, the general partnership undoubtedly becomes a kind of real hybrid. The represen…
