The practice of terminal discharge: Is it euthanasia by stealth?Lalit Kumar Radha Krishna, Vengadasalam Murugam & Daniel Song Chiek Quah - 2018 - Nursing Ethics 25 (8):1030-1040.details ‘Terminal discharges’ are carried out in Singapore for patients who wish to die at home. However, if due diligence is not exercised, parallels may be drawn with euthanasia.

This paper draws on Syme’s recent book, A Good Death: An Argument for Voluntary Euthanasia , to identify and to reflect on some important challenges to what I outline as the traditional account of law, ethics, and end of life decisions. Among the challenges Syme makes to the traditional view is his argument that physicians’ intentions are frail (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
