Beschreibung
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Legislation on
euthanasia in Switzerland states that deadly drugs may be prescribed to
a Swiss person or to a foreigner, where the recipient takes an active
role in the drug administration. More generally, article 115 of the
Swiss penal code, which came into effect in 1942 (having been approved
in 1937), considers assisting suicide a crime if and only if the motive
is selfish. The code does not give physicians a special status in
assisting suicide; however, they are most likely to have access to
suitable drugs. Ethical guidelines have cautioned physicians against
prescribing deadly drugs. Article 115 was interpreted as legal
permission to set up organizations administering life-ending medicine
only in the 1980s, 40 years after its coming into effect. However, they
also recognize that in exceptional, and defined, cases physicians may
justifiably assist suicide. When an assisted suicide is declared, a
police inquiry may be started.
