    AbstractCurrent medical practice has made great progress over the past century which permits people to live longer and better than before. But this improvement has not been transferred to the field of death. To die with dignity today is a privilege only a few have. Those close to death claim their right to a death with dignity. Their petition usually goes unheard by the medical profession. The patients' autonomous law, which regulates last will and testaments or anticipated final wishes, is a step in this direction. The objective of this article is to publicize the current legal regulations related to last wills and testaments or last wishes by means of a critical review of the existing legislation.
