Furthermore, it answers the question how the process of taking free decision by a person committing suicide influences the criminal responsibility of a human under Article 151 of the Criminal Code which prohibits incitement or providing assistance to suicide. The analysis concerns the age of a suicide and his/her sanity. The conclusion is that the age of a suicide does not have normative meaning and may be taken into account only as an additional interpretative indication. The ability of recognising the significance of his/her act or controlling his/her conduct shall be assessed ad casum. In criminal law this ability shall be defined as “ability to self-determination” rather than “sanity”. Separate consideration was devoted to the question how the mistake as to the characteristic of a person (a suicide) may influence the criminal responsibility of an accused.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Kwartalnik Prawa Publicznego}, author={Kosonoga-Zygmunt, Julia}, year={2016}, month={wrz.}, pages={23–36} }
