Assisted suicide: German government seeks to regulate practice No one should be forced to do it, but everyone should have a right to it. That is the basis for doctors and patients alike in a new draft law on assisted suicide in Germany. But the legislation faces stiff opposition.
The new law would regulate how doctors can give out death-inducing drugs We want to set the record straight everyone has a right to self-determined death.
With these words, Free Democrat Member of Parliament Katrin Helling-Plahr introduced a cross-party draft bill to the German parliament that would regulate legal assisted suicide for the first time.
