The Federal Court of Justice has acquitted an advocate who did active Euthanasia to a patient who was in a vegetative state for five years. This means that the ending of essential treatments are no longer illegal if the patient wrote it into their decree (compare from N24.de).
I think this a huge change in law, because now killing a man if he told it so at his decree is legal. So now if you write this decree and you have a accident and you`re in a vegetative state, your family can decide weather they want you to live or not. With this you give them a huge responsability over your live.
I think it is a good decision because I would do this decree, because I think about me. If I have a big accident and I`m in a vegetative state for a long time and I can`t comunicate or if I have no views to get better, I would rather die than beeing a burden to my family. I wouldn`t like to see them sad when they visit me or even see them cry and can`t console them, this would break my heart.
What is your opinion about it? Do you think it`s the right decision by the Federal Court of Justice or do you think they did wrong?
