This year on May 21st, the full panel of the Supreme Court in Korea had first made a
judgment on ‘withdrawal of life-sustaining management’. In this case, where a 76 -year-old
patient was represented by her children, while being in a persistent vegetative status, the
Supreme Court ruled that if a patient is in an irreversible condition with imminent death and the
discontinuation of treatment can be approved as the patient’s self -determination, while such
action will not be allowed in any other special circumstances. This judgement presented the
general criteria and process of withdrawal of life -sustaining management in Korea for the first
time. The Supreme Court also brought about the specific requirements of advance directives and
decided that in case where legal proceedings are not taken, the hospital ethic committee
constiting of medical specialists should decide whether the patient is in an irreversible condition.
However, the judgment vaguely defined the concept of ‘irreversible death-imminent condition’
and did not clearly examine the relations between the patient’s right on self-determination and
the duty of the national government to protect the life of the people, and the discretionary power
of the doctor.
