Publication at Third Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

This article comments a new Czech legislation of previously expressed wishes. According to the law only this wish should be respected, which is made after a consultation with general practitioner.

This places great demands upon him/her. But above all, the text of law opens many questions not discussed in broad political, medical and ethical consequences.

This also increases the insecurity both of patients and doctors.
