Summary

The bill creates an opportunity for adult patients to prepare a declaration of intent at the end of life available in the health information system (TIS). In it, you can determine which health services he wants or refuses at the end of his life. Making a declaration of will at the end of life is voluntary, can be changed and revoked at any time, and the prerequisite for making it is a doctor's advice so that the person understands the meaning and consequences of his decision. A declaration of will at the end of life can also be drawn up in a restricted manner an adult with legal capacity, if the doctor assesses him as competent to make decisions about his health. You cannot request euthanasia with an end-of-life statement. The patient's declaration of will must contain clear instructions in which situations, such as terminal illness or irreversible brain damage, and which health care services are desired, including the option to opt out of all medical interventions.
