Moderator: Dr. S.K. Khandelwal
A desire for hastened death is not uncommon. Patients with terminal illnesses or with unbearable suffering have frequently made this request to their family members or treating physicians. The argument is over the right to die with a doctor’s help at the time and in the manner of your own choosing. The critics find the whole idea as repugnant. For others, the legalization of doctor-assisted dying is the first step on a slippery slope where the vulnerable are threatened and where premature death becomes a cheap alternative to palliative care. Do people always choose wisely, do we have safeguards in place?
