Zusammenfassung

The first German study of assisted suicides (AS) in Munich revealed that the people affected were predominantly very old, multimorbid, and affected by geriatric syndromes. AS accounted for 9. 6% of all suicides and 0. 1% of all deaths. In the case of psychiatric illnesses potentially restricting free will, psychiatric assessments were only carried out in around half of the cases. There was no clear separation of medical functions. Pentobarbital is not used in Germany. Chloroquine, which is prone to complications, should no longer be used for AS.
