N2  - The recent judgement of the Federal Constitutional Court on assisted suicide has met with clear rejection by churches and medical representatives. The former chairman of the German Ethics Council has also sharply criticized the judgement. The vehemence of this criticism indicates that the contrast between defenders and opponents of the primacy of a person's self-determination with regard to the end of his or her own life has hardened. In order to find a way out of this stalemate, the issue must be formulated in terms other than those of rights and categorical requirements. Ronald Dworkin's reflections on the causes of moral conflict provide important pointers in this regard. © 2021 University of Salzburg.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
