The discussion about a legal regulation of assisted suicide and its compatibility with medical ethics is highly controversial - even among Christians, as the reactions to the statements by Hans Küng and Nikolaus Schneider have shown.

What significance does the conscience decision of those affected hold? Contributions from Veronika Hoffmann, Adrian Holderegger, Jochen Sautermeister, Magnus Striet, Knut Wenzel, and Markus Zimmermann, among others.
