Leta 2008 je začel veljati nov slovenski kazenski zakonik. Njegova določba 125. člena je povsem spremenila predhodno obravnavanje medicinskih posegov na področju kazenskega prava. Z uvedbo tega člena namreč slovenski zakonodajalec polno sprejme koncepcijo splošnega pojma kaznivega dejanja ter institut privolitve oškodovanca kot razlog izključitve protipravnosti z medicinskimi posegi izpolnjenih biti telesnih poškodb. V okviru tega prispevka avtorja kritično analizirata 125. člen KZ-1 tako iz sistemske kot tudi tehnične ravni in polemično predstavita njegov celovit pomen in posledice.

In 2008, the Slovenian legislator adopted the new Penal Code – Kazenski zakonik (KZ-1). Article 125 dramatically changed the former criminal treatment of medical interventions. Namely, by implementing this article the Slovenian legislator declared for nothing but the full acceptance of the general idea of criminal offence and states that even though physicians’ medical interventions imply the entity of bodily injury, it is the patient’s consent which eliminates the unlawfulness of the criminal offence, which waives the physicians’ liability. Herein, the authors critically analyze the article by using a systematic and technical approach, and polemically present a comprehensive overview and its implications.
