PHYSICIAN ASSISTED DYING: DEFINING THE ETHICALLY AMBIGUOUS
Abstract
In states where Physician Assisted Dying (PAD) is legal, physicians occasionally receive requests for this form of end-of-life care. Here, I describe the ethically ambiguous sphere and why PAD falls into it. I argue that, given the ethical ambiguity of PAD, physicians should consider patient autonomy as the highest value in the four principles approach and act as informers and educators.Author's Profile
