TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Suicide and assisted suicide in terms of the fundamental right to self-determination JO - Zeitschrift fur Evangelische Ethik A1 - Kres, H. SP - 114 EP - 122 VL - 59 IS - 2 N2 - The article discusses suicide in the case of seriously ill patients as well as assisting in such a suicide from the perspective of the right of self-determination. It advocates a legal clarification that will enable patients and doctors to make autonomous decisions. Such a legal provision could guard against improper forms of assisted suicide and should create transparency as well as legal certainty. © Gütersloher Verlagshaus 2015.
