Professional integrity and physician-assisted death

F G Miller et al. Hastings Cent Rep. 1995 May-Jun.

Abstract

The practice of voluntary physician-assisted death as a last resort is compatible with doctors' duties to practice competently, to avoid harming patients unduly, to refrain from medical fraud, and to preserve patients' trust. It therefore does not violate physicians' professional integrity.
