Summary/Abstract: Art. 151 P.C. says that one who, by persuasion or assistance makes a human to take their life, is punishable by imprisonment of 3 months to 5 years. Extremely synthetic frame of the above rule results in many interpretational problems of its contents. An especially big problem is determining, if it is possible to qualify the perpetrator’s deed leading to a person taking their own life, while not being able to recognize the significance of their actions. The author believes that this is an only acceptable option for this kind of behavior. This solution is not fully satisfying, that is why reforming art. 151 P.C should be carefully considered.
