侵入性醫療行為在刑法上之評價【本期企劃】 試閱
Criminal Legal Evaluation of Invasive Procedures
侵入性治療行為是否屬於傷害罪構成要件行為,為德國爭論已久的問題。德國實務見解向來將醫療行為視為傷害行為。早期德國多數學說則主張在一定條件之下,應將醫療行為排除在傷害罪構成要件之外,例如符合醫術規則或是治療成功之醫療行為,自始就非傷害行為。然而,依照傷害罪構成要件之解釋,難以將侵入性醫療行為排除在傷害構成要件之外;以及,基於病人身體自主決定權之保障,本文最終認為,將醫療行為視為傷害行為應是適當之看法。
It has been a disputing topic for the long time in Germany whether invasive procedures are the element of offenses of causing bodily harm. German legal practice has a positive answer for it, whereas the invasive procedures would ad initio be excluded from the element of offenses of causing bodily harm according to many scholars, like the medical treatments match medical standards or have successful results. However, it would be difficult to exclude the invasive procedures ad initio from the elements of offenses causing bodily harm according to its interpretation. Besides, in the opinion from this essay, it would be proper to contend that the medical treatments should be actions with harms on the ground of patient autonomy.
