- Abstract
Living wills take up central points of End of Life Decisions in terms of content. Ethical principles that enable us to approach such issues are embedded in a cultural context. The latter plays an increasingly central role in patient-centered medicine. Using the example of Jewish Orthodox legislation (Halacha), we will show how the cultural background can be considered when creating a living will. Using so-called "emic" (culturally immanent) and "etic" (culturally comparative) content-analytical approaches, this will then be compared with the guidelines of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS). The latter partly provide guidelines for certain questions which are left completely open by the Halacha, but also vice versa. Despite these different weightings, similar positions often result in practice.
