Summary

Die Beantwortung der rechtlichen Fragen, die mit dem Lebensende zusammenhängen, unterliegt starken kulturellen und religiösen Einflüssen. Zu berücksichtigen sind zudem medizinische, philosophische und historische Aspekte. Wegen der engen Verbindung von Recht und Kultur wurden Länder mit unterschiedlichen kulturellen und religiösen Hintergründen für eine vergleichende Studie zu Fragen des Lebensendes ausgewählt. In Frankreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz mit einem kontinentalen Rechtssystem, in Großbritannien mit einem common law System, in Indien und Japan üben die verschiedenen Religionen und Kulturen einen wichtigen Einfluss auf die Modernisierung der einschlägigen Rechtsvorschriften aus. Das Buch behandelt die jüngsten Gesetzesänderungen und die Entwicklungen in den in die Untersuchung einbezogenen Länder. Mit Beiträgen vonFlorence Bellivier, Kartina A. Choong, Birgit Daiber, Jeanne Mesmin d’Estienne, Geraldine Demme, Michael Eichberger, Sophie Garcelon, Uwe Hellmann, Tetsu Isobe, Haluna Kawashima, Tobias Lettl, Volker Lipp, Prasannanshu Prasannanshu, Kerstin Peglow, Anand N. Raut, Stephanie Rohlfing-Dijoux, Angie Schneider und Louis-Charles Viossat.
