The ethics of euthanasia

John Wilkinson

formerly Community Medical Specialist, Lothian Health Board, Edinburgh

Types of euthanasia are described, and active, voluntary euthanasia defined. Arguments for active, voluntary euthanasia and the assumptions upon which these are based are presented. Counter arguments are also presented, with suggested alternatives to active, voluntary euthanasia in modern health care provision.

Key Words: ethics • informed consent • palliative treatment • right to die • suicide • theology

Palliative Medicine, Vol. 4, No. 2, 81-86 (1990)
DOI: 10.1177/026921639000400204
