TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Physician-assisted suicide and Christian belief: On the significance of religious arguments in the debate on assisted suicide JO - Zeitschrift fur Medizinische Ethik A1 - Römelt, J. SP - 230 EP - 241 VL - 61 IS - 3 N2 - The emphasis on the self-determination in the overcoming of pain and sorrow brings a privatisation of this experience on the way, which restricts the effort of the community. The prohibition of all form of killing and participation at the suicide of patients even initiate a quite concrete medical and nursing dynamics in contrast, which commits itself to the relief in pain and sorrow with all the strength. The theological idea of the feasibility of self-love through transcendence relationship translates through the network of human welfare and communication in the context of the human rights into this maintenance and feasibility of really succeeding self-determination - a network, that accompanies and confirms the dying in his dignity. © 2015 Schwabenverlag AG.
