Abstract
- This is a response to Barutta and Vollmann's article ‘Physician-assisted death with limited access to palliative care.’ I show how they misconstrue a key empirical statement made by the European Association for Palliative Care regarding legalisation of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Additionally, I include some further remarks on the relationship between euthanasia and palliative care. I read with interest the article, which delineate well several positions and gives a nice overview of arguments presented on either side. I also found the line of argument unprejudiced and clear, and am sure people working within palliative care would benefit from reading it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
