[Advance directives in Europe]

[Article in German]
Heinz Barta et al. Wien Klin Wochenschr. .

Abstract

The types and theories of advance directives in different European countries are reviewed and described. The author carefully compares the legal standing of advance directives in these countries. Since there is no doubt that advance directives in some form will become legal instruments in the EU countries, it is useful to examine how these have worked out so far in some European countries.
