- Title
Palliative care on the 'slippery slope' towards euthanasia?
- Authors
Materstvedt, Lars Johan
- Abstract
Since the journal 'Palliative Medicine' cannot possibly do justice to all commentators by giving detailed feedback to each and every one, it has instead chosen to focus on eight particular issues, of which all or most are touched on by many authors in one way or other since they all play a significant role in important portions of the paper. Several authors point to the fact that on some topics, the illustration is quite brief and so they miss a more comprehensive treatment of these topics. Furthermore, particular topics that some would expect to see addressed in a paper like this are missing completely. The periodical did originally produce a much longer document that considers many topics in great detail. Opponents and proponents alike often make compelling and passionate arguments against or in support of euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide.
