Also, a third of the German medical professionals can imagine their participation under certain circumstances. What is so interesting regarding the\u00a0 debate on the medically guided and supported suicide, is the fact that it leads the way out of the ideological controversy between self-determination on the one hand, and the religious interpretations of creation and life as a gift, on the other, and opens up the view to the actual goal of the debates on the \u201cfreedom to die\u201c: the improvement of the medical, as a rule palliative, care of dying patients\u00a0 in a trustworthy dialogue-based relationship toward caretaker, doctor and family member\/caregiver. It is my conviction that the freedom to die can and should be realized as self-determination in a dialogue.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Biography<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nAndreas Poltermann: Director Belgrade Office, Heinrich BoellStiftung.
