Anscombe Centre Reports on Euthanasia

Here is a link to a short item in the National Right to Life News mentioning that the Anscombe Bioethics Centre has recently released three papers on euthanasia. The papers are by David Albert Jones, John Keown, and Mark Komrad. All three are of high quality and are strongly recommended.

Jones’s paper is entitled “Defining the Terms of the Debate: Euthanasia and Euphemism.” Keown’s paper is entitled “Voluntary Euthanasia & Physician-assisted Suicide: The Two ‘Slippery Slope’ Arguments.” Komrad’s paper is entitled “First, Do No Harm: How Canadian Law Allows for Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) for Patients with Psychiatric Disorders.”
