The Supreme Court found that Paul Tammert's activities were not healthcare services. He offered people a device that allows for assisted suicide.

Paul Tammert was accused of prohibited economic activity and providing healthcare services without a license. He offered people a device for money that allowed them to commit suicide. The district and circuit courts found Tammert guilty.
The Supreme Court explained that assisting in suicide is not a healthcare service. Tammert did not engage in disease prevention, diagnosis, or treatment. He did not conduct medical research or irreversibly affect people's health. People themselves decided about their health, the court said.
The Supreme Court emphasized that Tammert's activities did not have the purpose of healthcare services. The law does not allow calling an activity that harms health a treatment. Therefore, inducing death is not a healthcare service.
The Supreme Court noted that every mentally competent person has the right to leave life. Punishment can only be applied if a person is unable to make their own decision or does not have full understanding of their actions.
The Supreme Court also emphasized that there are no legal rules for assisted suicide. Clear rules are needed to prevent abuse and ensure the protection of human health.
The Supreme Court also referred to the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, which requires strong legal regulation related to assisted death. The state must ensure that the provision of such a service is safe and properly regulated.
