Self-Determination at the End of Life: An Evening for Clarity, Responsibility, and Discussion
What does self-determination at the end of life mean, what rights do patients have, and where are the boundaries of personal responsibility? The lecture at the Starnberg District Office addresses these challenging questions from legal, ethical, and personal perspectives.
Rights and Personal Decisions at the Forefront
On November 4, 2026, Gerhart Gross will shed light on the themes of patient protection, patient will, and assisted dying. As a volunteer advisor and coordinator for Southern Bavaria of the German Society for Human Dying e.V., he brings experience from counseling and public discourse on questions of self-determined dying.
The evening organizes central terms and creates space for a factual event atmosphere. The focus is on legal framework conditions, ethical considerations, and the personal responsibility associated with decisions at the end of life.
Information instead of Taboo
Especially on sensitive topics, a well-moderated lecture opens the opportunity to address questions openly. The event is aimed at anyone interested in patient rights, advance care planning, medical decision-making freedom, or the societal debates surrounding dying and assisted dying.
The German Society for Human Dying has been advocating for the right to self-determination at the end of life and the preservation of patient will since its founding in 1980. Gerhart Gross has been volunteering for the organization for many years and serves as a contact person for people in difficult life situations.
Audience Mood and Personal Exchange
After the lecture, there will be time for questions and exchange. This creates an event experience that does not remain at abstract terms but promotes dialogue between the speaker and the audience. The calm conversation atmosphere in the Large Conference Room provides a suitable setting for a topic that affects many people directly or in their personal environment.
Barrier-Free and Without Registration
The lecture will take place in the barrier-free accessible main building of the Starnberg District Office. No registration is required. Admission is free. Start time is 6:30 PM, and the end is planned around 8:30 PM.
Conclusion: Space for Important Questions
Visitors can expect an informative evening with legal basics, ethical perspectives, and personal insights into counseling practice. Those wishing for a well-founded orientation on patient rights and self-determination at the end of life will experience an important occasion for information and open exchange at the Starnberg District Office.
