englischThe self-determination right of the patients has risen as a guiding principle in medicine. However, the recognition itself didn’t mean that there are no limits, of what doctors can do without being punished.

There are people who suffer from body integrity identity disorder: they have the shocking need to be amputated an healthy part of their body because they paradoxically only feel her body as completely this way.

If the patient's will is undisputed top priority of medical activity, it would be no question that a doctor would have to obey the patients wish.

Whether the doctor is actually only provider of the patient or whether his actions are as drawn by the self-determination of other limits, so that a criminal offense is concerned, if a doctor makes a mutilating surgery without a medical indication, is the question of this the work is done.
