UK citizens can access assisted suicide, but they must travel to Zurich in order to do so: this is illogical, but more importantly, it imposes an unfair burden on terminally ill individuals
Jackson, E.
(2011).
UK citizens can access assisted suicide, but they must travel to Zurich in order to do so: this is illogical, but more importantly, it imposes an unfair burden on terminally ill individuals.
Emily Jackson looks at the arguments for and against allowing people whose suffering has become intolerable access to assistance in planning their death, and suggests that the status quo, in which the UK exports the ‘problem’ of assisted suicide to Switzerland has little to recommend it.
