Title: | Avoiding a fate worse than death: An argument for legalising voluntary physician-based euthanasia | Contributor(s): | Werren, Julia C (author)![]() |
Publication Date: | 2012 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11251 | Abstract: | The legalisation of voluntary physician-based euthanasia is currently the subject of much political, social and ethical debate and there is evidence in Australia of growing support for its implementation. In addressing many of the issues that surround legalisation, the article looks at some overseas jurisdictions that have legalised euthanasia to determine whether the social, political and ethical concerns prominent in the Australian debate have proved problematic in other jurisdictions. In addition, the article examines the report on the Dying with Dignity Bill 2009 (Tas) which commented extensively on the issues relating to voluntary physician-based euthanasia. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Law and Medicine, 20(1), p. 184-203 | Publisher: | Lawbook Co | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1320-159X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 180126 Tort Law 180199 Law not elsewhere classified |
