A medical student perspective on physician-assisted suicide

Article indépendant

RHEE, John Y. | CALLAGHAN, Katharine A. | ALLEN, Philip | STAHL, Amanda | BROWN, Martin T. | TSOI, Alexandra | MCINERNEY, Grace | DUMITRU, Ana-Maria G.

Physician assisted suicide and euthanasia (PAS/E) has been increasingly discussed and debated in the public square, including in professional medical organizations. However, the medical student perspective on the debate has been essentially absent. We present a medical student perspective on the PAS/E debate as future doctors and those about to enter the profession. We argue that PAS/E is not in line with the core principles of medicine, and the focus should rather be on providing high-quality end-of-life and palliative care.
