In Germany, there is now a fundamental right to self-determination in Dying is a fundamental right to suicide. The yesterday announced the judgment of the Federal constitutional court is a model of how historic. In a country especially, where a mighty Phalanx, especially of CSU-politicians, and Church representatives organized euthanasia categorically condemned, and even to the euthanasia program of the Nazis is remembered.
the Bundestag had made in 2015 for organised assisted Suicide is punishable. Yesterday, Karlsruhe overturned a remarkably brave of the criminal law article 217 relating to “Business promotion of self-killing”. The control reach is inadmissible in the personal rights of dying willing people, but also in that of people and organizations that wanted to make suicide assistance.
while we rejoice In the principle judgment, the euthanasia organizations just will not stay skeptical. Because the court allows it, the policy regulated the assisted Suicide. This is associated with uncertainties. Especially should the restrictive narcotics act.
There is no increase in the death tourism is threatening.
Dignitas calls on the Bundestag to ensure that citizens have access to an effective dying agent. Rightly criticized the organization Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU), he was denying suffering people, still the output of the die by means of sodium pentobarbital. This, although a judgment of the Federal administrative court would require by 2017 to do so.
And Germany is engaged esters of death helper Roger Kusch? He prefers to continue to help from Switzerland, die Germans willing to. Due to the German ban urged the Zurich exile, he learned to appreciate legal certainty and tolerance.
For this, he promises not to burden with his model Switzerland: suicide, willing to come only for the diagnosis and formulation, to Zurich, to die to do it then in my own bed in Germany. So no increase in suicide tourism threatens guaranteed.
