‘Assisted suicide’: is this what we really want?

[摘要] The BMA's Annual Conference has recently voted, by the slenderest of majorities from a depleted quorum of delegates, to adopt a position of neutrality on any future bill seeking to legalise medical assistance with suicide. But does that represent the settled view of practicing clinicians, especially GPs on whom any change in the law would probably ultimately fall? The debate on the practical implications for general practice and for the provision of care for the terminally ill is now urgent.
