TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - A role for judges in assisted dying JO - Journal of medical ethics and history of medicine A1 - Castelló, A. A1 - Francès, F. A1 - Verdú, F. SP - EP - VL - 2 IS - N2 - Medically provoked death, whether euthanasia or assisted suicide, is a common issue for discussion in various forums, participants coming from widely differing fields of knowledge, among who are, of course, doctors. Substantial legal differences exist in Europe on this issue and in an ever-wider Europe, it is essential, for practical reasons, that legislation be standardised. We would like to propose possible regulations that would provide effective safeguards in the application of euthanasia or assisted suicide. © 2009 Ana Castelló, Francesc Francès and Fernando Verdú; licensee Tehran Univ.
