Criticism of new rules for assisted dying
129
Austria plans a new law for assisted dying. The law for the document about dying changes. A high court wants this change. The name of the court is Verfassungs-Gerichtshof. Sick people must confirm their wish every year. This is hard for sick people.
The government has a new plan. A Sterbe-Verf--Verfügung stays valid for 1 year. The renewal becomes easier. One doctor or one notary is enough. This happens within 5 years. Now, the documents have no time limit.
A group for human end of life criticizes the plan. They want a duration of 2 years. This helps sick people. The bishops of the church are against assisted dying. They say: Life must stay safe until the end. Experts also criticize the short time for the review.
