Suicide is--considering general principles to be judged both from ethical and legal viewpoints. Moreover special attentions has to be paid to the particularities of a single case and to the fact that these particularities do not recur. This is also true of the attempt to commit suicide. The "suicideprophylaxis" is of great social important. Attention has to be paid to the problems of a fellowman, who is possibly frightened of a think or who is ill and sees no wayout from his hopelessness. The author discusses regulations of the criminallaw such as indemniti in a case of suicide--if there was no "suicide and also a putting death against another person without there own consent" and the duty of help according to paragraph 119 StGB in an accident or represent a general danger.
