Dying well? A colloquy on euthanasia and assisted suicide
Abstract:
With this special issue the Report once again joins the debate on what patients, physicians, and society can -- and cannot -- live with at the end of life. The articles gathered here address in various ways, from various perspectives, the questions that inform the debate on euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Can we coherently argue that physicians' professional obligations to alleviate suffering extend so far as to taking life on request? To what extent ought our policy decisions rest on consideration of possible consequences?
