Motifs extraits
Assisted suicide-related acts, including medical examination, report writing, and prescribing pentobarbital, fell within medical activities regulated by cantonal health law. The revocation had a sufficient legal basis, served public health and order, and was proportionate given the repeated breach of the existing restriction and the loss of trustworthiness.
