Assisted dying: in (further) defence of re-thinking the role of the doctor
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We write in response to Armitage(1), Chen(2) and Pinna(3) following their highly engaging responses to our recent article “Why administration of lethal drugs should not be the role of the doctor”(4). In doing so, we aim to defend our original thesis and, with regards to the ongoing tensions of both legalisation and implementation of assisted dying worldwide, suggest it has never been more important to consider the appropriate role of a doctor.
