Katerina Jacob and husband register for humane dying

German actress Katerina Jacob and her husband, Jochen Neumann, have announced that they have registered for humane dying to ensure they maintain autonomy over their end-of-life decisions. The couple, who have been together for 30 years, began discussing these possibilities following Jacob’s diagnosis with triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease.

Jacob stated that the registration is not a final decision but a way to keep options open. The couple intends to decide on their specific course of action based on their future health situations. Jacob also expressed her wish for Neumann to find a new partner should she pass away before him.
