Assisted suicide and euthanasia: bad medicine, bad ethics, bad public policy.
The legal permissibility of physician assisted suicide and/or euthanasia in particular jurisdictions does not entail that these are ethically good practices. In this article, I argue that physician assisted suicide and euthanasia represent bad medicine, bad ethics, and bad public policy. For these reasons, even where they are legally permissible, physicians should refuse participation and should work collectively to restore legal prohibitions.
