In Austria exists a broad political consensus to avoid euthanasia and assisted suicide but to convey palliative medicine and palliative care and to strengthen the autonomy and the rights of the patient. Therefore in 2006 the Austrian parliament passed the living will act which differs between obliging and noticeable living will documents. Concerning the limitation of the range of coverage the Austrian law defines a comparative liberal position.
在奥地利,存在广泛的政治共识,即避免安乐死和协助自杀,而是推广姑息医学和姑息护理,并加强患者的自主权和权利。因此,2006年奥地利议会通过了生前预嘱法案,该法案区分了强制性和显著性生前预嘱文件。关于覆盖范围的限制,奥地利法律定义了一种相对宽松的立场。
