"Voluntary assisted dying" in Australia : the Victorian parliamentary committee's tenuous case for legalization

Article indépendant

KEOWN, John

Its treatment of key objections to legalization, both principled and practical, was superficial and selective. The Voluntary Assisted Dying Act, passed by the Victorian Parliament in November 2017, is built on the report's shaky foundations.
