About

Euthanasia, whilst becoming a more frequent topic for comment in the Press, is still viewed with as much suspicion as eugenics a hundred years ago. Ethical issues, legal and financial questions are touched on but tend to provoke well-worn responses. This Symposium provides an opportunity for serious debate on this important topic.
