Euthanasia: Euthanasia Organization Reports Increase in Assisted Suicides

The size of parking spaces is regulated by law in Germany, but assisted suicide is not. Yet more and more people are making use of assisted suicide - and even more are in favor of it. That doesn't fit well together, says Thorsten Fuchs.

Die Größe von Parkbuchten ist in Deutschland gesetzlich geregelt, nicht aber die Hilfe beim Suizid. Dabei nehmen immer mehr Menschen Sterbehilfe in Anspruch – und noch viel mehr befürworten sie. Das passt schlecht zusammen, meint Thorsten Fuchs.

Number of assisted suicides in Germany rose in 2024

President Petr Pavel discussed a range of topics, from his relationship with beer to the war in Ukraine to his participation in the Dakar Rally, in a discussion at the J. K. Tyl Theatre in Třeboň on Tuesday evening. Again, as in his election campaign, he spoke out in favor of euthanasia.

Celou řadu témat od svého vztahu k pivu přes válku na Ukrajině až po svou účast na Dakaru rozebral v úterý v podvečer v diskusi v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Třeboni prezident Petr Pavel. Znovu, stejně jako ve své volební kampani, se vyslovil pro eutanazii.

President Pavel again spoke out in favor of euthanasia

Both State Secretary Vincent Karremans for Health and the House of Representatives are concerned about the increasing number of young people requesting euthanasia due to severe psychological suffering. Karremans emphasized in a Parliamentary debate that “no matter how sad” this wish is, a careful procedure is always followed. In addition, a request is only granted in a small number of cases.

Zowel staatssecretaris Vincent Karremans van Volksgezondheid als de Tweede Kamer is bezorgd over het toenemende aantal jonge mensen dat om euthanasie verzoekt vanwege ernstig psychisch lijden. Karremans benadrukte in een Kamerdebat dat „hoe verdrietig” deze wens ook is, er altijd een zorgvuldige procedure wordt gevolgd. Daarbij wordt een verzoek slechts in een klein aantal gevallen ingewilligd.

A person should have as much control over their life as possible. This was stated by President Petr Pavel at a debate in Třeboň. He said he does not want to encourage anyone to introduce euthanasia, but he himself would choose it as a dignified way of ending life if necessary. The political parties addressed do not agree on this topic. While the Pirates or the STAN movement are in favor of it under the right conditions, the entire Spolu coalitio…

Člověk by měl mít pokud možno co největší kontrolu nad svým životem. Uvedl to prezident Petr Pavel na debatě v Třeboni. Nechce prý k zavedení eutanazie nikoho nabádat, sám by si ji však v případě potřeby zvolil jako důstojný odchod ze života. Oslovené politické strany nemají na tomto tématu shodu. Zatímco Piráti či hnutí STAN jsou za správně nastavených podmínek pro, celá koalice Spolu je proti. Shodují se ale na tom, že nepůjde o stěžejní téma …

Eutanazii bych v případě potřeby využil, řekl prezident. STAN či Piráti by ji legalizovali, Spolu ne

The German Society for Human Dying (DGHS) assumes that in 2024 around 1,200 people in Germany will have used so-called assisted suicide services. The patient protection organisation itself had arranged 623 assisted suicides, as DGHS chairman Robert Roßbruch explained on Tuesday morning. An inquiry to Dignitas Germany revealed that the Dignitas Germany association carried out 183 assisted suicides and the Euthanasia Germany association 171. In ad…

DGHS estimates the number of assisted suicides in 2024 to be 1,200

On November 29, the British Parliament passed a law legalizing active euthanasia. Assisted suicide. This is what I fear! Is a country so close to us in both distance and culture going to open up to taking lives? When this is implemented, it is said that it will be strictly regulated, but can we really trust it? Who are we to decide who should be allowed to die and who should not? When are you sick enough? When are you bad enough? And what if you…

29. november vedtok det britiske parlamentet lovliggjøring av aktiv dødshjelp. Assistert selvmord. Dette er jeg redd for! Skal et land så nærme oss både i avstand og kultur, åpne for å ta liv?Når dette blir gjennomført, sies det at det skal være strengt regulert, men kan vi virkelig stole på det? Hvem er vi til å bestemme hvem som skal få lov til å dø og ikke? Når er du syk nok? Når har du det ille nok? Og hva om du, akkurat ikke har det ille no…
