Cada vez más países legalizan la muerte asistida voluntaria. Pero ¿quién accede a ella? Los resultados de un reciente estudio internacional ofrecen algunas respuestas.
More and more countries are legalising voluntary assisted dying. But who is accessing it? The results of a recent international study provide some answers.
Finding a supportive doctor willing and qualified to assess your eligibility for voluntary assisted dying sometimes depends on luck.
Who gets scarce life-saving resources when hospitals are overwhelmed? And how are these decisions made? State and territory governments are yet to answer these difficult questions.
As we sit on the cusp of voluntary assisted dying becoming legal in Victoria, we expect it won’t always be simple for people who want it to access it – at least in the legislation’s early days.
