Kessler Twins' Death Sparks Assisted Suicide Debate in Germany

The recent assisted suicide of the Kessler twins in Germany has sparked intense debate on end-of-life decisions. The twins well-considered choice has been met with concern from the German Caritas Association, who fear societal pressure on older women. The Caritas Association calls for a ban on assisted suicide advertising and stricter regulations. The Federal Constitutional Courts ruling in 2020 decriminalized assisted suicide, but the main challenge now is defining free responsibility in these decisions. Experts suggest independent counseling to verify someones free and responsible choice. This ongoing debate could lead to a new suicide prevention law.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
