The contributions of this volume address the growing ethical
challenges regarding the possibilities for end-of-life-decisions,
as well as their limitations. Experts from medical ethics,
palliative care, theology and social sciences discuss, amongst
others, following issues: How can requests for (physician-)
assisted suicide be dealt with adequately? Under which
condition is the renunciation of artificial nutrition reasonable
in coma patients? Do advance euthanasia directives for patients
with dementia fulfil the necessary ethical requirements? Furthermore, the authors analyze current institutional developments and empirical research on end-of-life decisions and refer
to international studies and trends regarding the acceptance
