The judgment on a case of passive euthanasia, released by the German Bundesge-richtshof on June 25th 2010, prompts an updated portrait of the European normative and case-law practice pertaining to the end-of-life decision - and specifically to the weight of advance directives, the so called living will. The international law framework is presently quite fuzzy: the principal point of reference continues to be the European Convention on Human Rights, that guarantees the right to respect for private life (article 8). The margin of appreciation left to Member States (article 8 par. 2) determines eventually a variety of solutions, in particular regarding the disposability of vital treatments.
