Assisting
a Patient to Die: A Guide for Physicians
Stephen Jamison, Ph.D.
Many
physicians provide aid-in-dying to their incurably ill patients.
While the laws are changing, physicians who currently help their
patients die do so outside the boundaries of legally protected medical
practice, and thus face arrest, prosecution, censure by state medical
boards, loss of their medical licenses, and adverse publicity. This
booklet helps physicians develop their own comfort-levels with the
ethical issues involved in physician-assisted suicide, so that when
such situations arise, they will be best able to live with the effects
of their decisions.
