Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
However compassionate the motives behind assisted suicide initiatives, the risks and harm for patients, health professionals and the public are too great. The moral and professional challenge should not revolve around assisted suicide but be directed at reversing the dying person's despair and fulfilling the obligation to provide competent and committed care to the dying. |
