The new law lays out the conditions under which assisted suicide will be possible in the future, following a ruling by Austria’s Constitutional Court last December according to which banning assisted suicide was unconstitutional because it violated a person’s right to self-determination.“Seriously ill people should have access to assisted suicide,” the federal chancellery said in the statement.
