englischThe self-determination of patients – especially the consent of the patient after a comprehensive explanation (informed consent) – is an expression of the patients` right of self-determination, which is present and accepted in almost every area of medical law and also in the medical practice. But the patients´ self-determination is confronted with problems and frictions in the medical practice. The publication offers new insights about the self-determination of the patients by combining theory and practice. The publication is dealing with the topic in a detailed and interdisciplinary way to identify content-related and conceptional problems and to receive new impetus. Therefore the publication offers legal, ethical and medical articles. The publication includes e.g. articles about the medical ethical, sociological and legal problems as well as articles about self-determination and genome examination and self-determination and research.

The right by a patient to take medical decisions about themselves and give informed consent for medical procedures is an accepted practice in medical law and medical practice. However, this is fraught with problems and issues. This publication offers new insights in this area by combining both theory and practice. It deals with the topic in a detailed and inter-disciplinary manner to identify problems and issues related to concepts and content and to receive new inputs. The study thus offers legal, ethical and medical insights. It further explores medical ethics, legal and sociological problems and offers material relating to decision making by patients and genome studies and decision making and research.
