Legal and Ethical Challenges

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the role of law in shaping the boundaries of palliative care practice. It underlines the importance of a distinct legal framework which provides clarity for healthcare professionals and patients. It examines the legal and ethical justifications and questions the legitimacy of the distinction between euthanasia and practices such as palliative sedation. The work discusses the influence of a human rights discourse and examines the contribution of autonomy, dignity, and the right to palliative care. It includes detailed comparative research on several European jurisdictions which illustrates varied approaches to regulation and promotion.
