Does assisted suicide contradict the protection of life enshrined in fundamental law? Or is there, in addition to the right to a self-determined life, also a right to a self-determined death?

Some of those affected see the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which annuls the criminal liability of assisted suicide, as an act to safeguard their autonomy and human dignity. On the other hand, doctors, representatives of vulnerable groups and churches warn against abuse and coercion into suicide.

We will discuss the fundamental questions of ethical responsibility, the role of the state, human autonomy and social coexistence with renowned experts. The audience is invited to actively participate in the debate.
