title = "Planning One{\textquoteright}s End of Life in an Expert Biomedical Culture",
abstract = "The comparison of biomedical expert discourse in Germany and Israel reveals interesting differences in how patients{\textquoteright} autonomy and doctors{\textquoteright} duties are morally and legally related to each other with respect to the withholding and withdrawing of medical treatment in end-of-life situations. While Israel is more restrictive in relation to Germany regarding patient{\textquoteright}s autonomy, this difference is not only formed by contrasting value orientations, but also due to different expert cultures. The relative permissiveness of Germany in the context of end-of-life can be seen to represent different social conceptions of the doctor{\textquoteright}s duty, with a German emphasis on doctors{\textquoteright} duty to respect the self-determination of patients and an Israeli focus on doctors{\textquoteright} duty to respect the sanctity of life.",
