Abstract
Since the 1990s, Albania has recognized human dignity as one of thr main constitutional principlrs. Germany is one of the countries that has a long tradition of protecting human dignity in patient-physician relations. Thi contribution studies the German Law on informed consent to medical treatment, Gesetz zur Verbesserung der Rechte von Patientinnen und Patienten of February 2013 through the application of a case-law study. This paper investigates the possibility that Albanian judges could apply the legal arguments of theigerman collegues since in the case of case-law study there is an absence of political interference, which can better demonstrate the ethical principle of autonomy and the right to self-determination.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
