Physicians’ rights in Slovenia and Europe (from the standpoint of the law of personal rights)
Abstract
Abstract: In Slovenia criminal law in practice does not put medical intervention performed ignoring patient’s consent under sanction. This situation is a result of traditionally weakly developed doctrine of patient’s autonomy in SFRY and Slovenia, and can be in terms of comparative law described as a remain of past era. With regard to several questions concerning the omission of medical aid to person, who commits suicide and refuses medical aid, Slovenian legal theory and even more the jurisprudence do not give clear answers. This is not a situation from which legal security of physicians would benefit. However, the personal rights of physicians can be described as relatively well developed.
