TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Assisted dying - The debate: Videtur?... sed contra JO - Advances in psychiatric treatment A1 - Graham, P. A1 - Hughes, J.C. SP - 250 EP - 257 VL - 20 IS - 4 N2 - Should the law be changed to allow health professionals to assist mentally competent, terminally ill people to end their own lives? In this article Philip Graham (P.G.) puts the arguments in favour of such a change in the law and Julian Hughes (J.H.) opposes these arguments. J.H. then sets out why he believes such a law should not be passed and P.G., in turn, sets out counter-arguments. Before concluding comments, both P.G. and J.H. independently make brief closing statements supporting their own positions.
