This book shows how the legal systems of individual European
countries protect patient autonomy. In particular, it explains the
role of criminal law, that is, what criminal law protection of
patient autonomy looks like on a European scale in both legal and
social dimensions. Despite EU integration processes, the work
illustrates that the legal orders of individual European countries
are far from uniform in this area. The concept of patient autonomy
here is generally in the context of the patient's freedom from
unwanted medical activities: the so-called negative freedom. At the
same time, in countries where there are no regulations clearly
criminalising the performance of a therapeutic activity without the
patient's consent, the so-called positive freedom is also
discussed. The book will be a valuable reference work for
academics, researchers and policy-makers working in Health Law,
Medical Ethics, Applied Ethics and Criminal Law.
