After the German Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) declared Section 217 of the German Penal Code (which criminalized facilitating suicide as recurring pursuit) unconstitutional on February 26, 2020, it tasked the German Bundestag with redesigning a constitutional concept of protection to regulate assisted suicide. This article examines how the judgment construes the right to a self-determined death and the right to assisted suicide, delineating the core argument that led to the invalidation of the offense. In light of the critical examination, this article suggests a potential concept of protection for future legislative amendments. Furthermore, this analysis of the German legal system serves as a valuable reference for Taiwan’s future reforms of the Patient Right to Autonomy Act and the offense of homicide upon request under the Criminal Code.<br>This article is divided into five parts. It begins with an introduction to the background of the 2020 judgment (Part I) and outlines the central issues and the underlying context (Part II). It then explores and evaluates the right to a self-determined death and the right to assisted suicide as articulated by the Court, analyzing the core arguments regarding the unconstitutionality of the offense (Part III). Following this, from the perspective of German Law, the article offers several recommendations for the future concept of protection and discusses their implications for Taiwan’s legislation evolution (Part IV). Finally, a brief conclusion summarizes the primary findings of this study (Part V).
