You are warmly invited to attend a forthcoming online medical forum titled ‘Assisting people to live, not to die’.
This event will address feelings of being a burden towards end of life and will include observations from clinicians and the issue around balancing personal autonomy with wider societal implications when it comes to arguments around euthanasia and assisted suicide. Confirmed speakers include Dr. Regina McQuillan and Prof. Harvey Chochinov.
