Summary
Modern medicine offers new possibilites of sustaining life, including fully implanted technical devices. Can patient autonomy justify a lethal deactivation of such devices, or does such an act constitute an impermissible killing on request? The author outlines the legal boundaries of deactivating implanted devices using the example of pacemakers and ICD.
