(Alfred) Die Freigabe der Vernichtung lebensunwerten Lebens Ihr Maß und ihre Form; Zweite Auflage E-text prepared by Norbert H. Langkau, Norbert Müller, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Die Freigabe der Vernichtung lebensunwerten Lebens" by Karl Binding and Alfred Hoche is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work engages with complex legal and ethical questions concerning the value of life, specifically addressing the concepts of euthanasia and the potential for the state to permit the end of lives deemed "worthless." It considers the moral implications of life termination based on medical and philosophical reasoning, raising critical debates about the nature of suffering and societal responsibilities. The opening of the text introduces the authors' intent to tackle a sensitive question surrounding the legality of life termination. It outlines Binding's perspective on self-determination, arguing that individuals possess sovereignty over their own lives and should have the right to choose death under certain conditions. The authors raise various legal facets of self-killing, exploring the distinctions between suicide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia, as well as how societal views inform legal interpretations. The text sets the stage for a rigorous examination of these themes, implying that the following discussions may challenge conventional moral and legislative boundaries.
