According to the text, the Federal Office of Justice is responsible for legislation, mainly criminal legislation, regarding assisted suicide. "Assisted suicide" is defined as actively administering medication to a patient. The term "assisted suicide" is often misused and there is confusion between active, passive, and indirect forms of assisted suicide. Active assisted suicide is prohibited in Germany, unlike assisted suicide where someone else administers the medication. There are various forms of assisted suicide, such as active, passive, indirect, and assistance with dying. The debate over assisted suicide is highly debated and controversial.
