Physician reprimanded for Interior Euthanasia

By the time she received a drug in her coffee before euthanasia for a quiet introduction, the patient was not informed of the plans. She wrote that she wanted to die before she had to go home, but later she added that she wanted to determine the moment herself. Due to the circumstances, however, this moment passed.

According to specialized geriatric medicine who practiced euthanasia, a final discussion about future euthanasia would no longer have happened to the patient. She was convinced that the woman wanted to die. According to the Commission, the now retired physician should have tried to discuss the end of life with the patient. "The right to dispose of one's own life does not, in principle, get rid of a demented patient."

The Commission does not consider the written statement of intent to be sufficient because it was "unclear and contradictory". that the patient did not want to go to a retirement home, but that the patient herself wanted to choose the moment of euthanasia, but that the patient never asked for euthanasia, not the general practitioner and not of the retirement home ". of college. The woman said that she wanted to die only once, but not the other time.

A written statement of euthanasia should not be open to further explanation. "There is in principle no room for interpretation."
