It is a purpose and a task of the Academia Eurasiana Neurochirurgica to recognize this thread and to pay attention to tradition, morality and ethics in neurological surgery. The theme of this convention and the subject of the symposium met this purpose as no other.

In this context, also the internationally much-discussed and much-criticized regulations on euthanasia in The Netherlands were explained
