Organtransplantation Und Strafrechtspaternalismus Synopsis

English summary: German law recognizes well-intended prohibitions which are meant to protect citizens, even from harming themselves. Although German legislators have acted according to this sentiment in the law of organ transplantation, they have not prevented a dramatic shortage of organs, have not placed responsible actors within the narrow limits of health and life-saving organ donations, and have not punished the transgression of these limits, even in those cases where such transgressions were carried out with the best intentions. Jorg Scheinfeld scrutinizes the justification for the norms of punishment, both in the laws as they currently exists (de lege lata) in the field of criminal and constitution law and in view of a future laws (de lege ferenda) in the field of legal ethics. Based on the donation of organs in a narrow sense, Jorg Scheinfeld has as his goal to make visible the paternal sense of the current penal laws and how they relate to the fundamental principles of criminal justice.

German description: Das deutsche Recht kennt fursorglich gemeinte Verbote, die den Burger davor schutzen sollen, sich selbst zu schadigen. In diesem Geiste agierend lasst sich der deutsche Gesetzgeber im Recht der Organtransplantation selbst von der dramatischen Organknappheit nicht abhalten, vollverantwortlichen Akteuren enge Grenzen fur gesundheits- und lebensrettende Organspenden zu ziehen und Uberschreitungen dieser Grenzen - auch wenn mit bester Absicht begangen - sogar zu bestrafen. Jorg Scheinfeld hinterfragt die Berechtigung dieser Strafnormen: de lege lata auf den Ebenen des Straf- und Verfassungsrechts sowie de lege ferenda auf dem Feld der Rechtsethik. Bezogen auf die Spende von Organen im engeren Sinn macht Jorg Scheinfeld die mit dem geltenden Strafrechtspaternalismus verfolgten Zwecke sichtbar und misst sie an den grundlegenden Prinzipien des Strafrechts.
