Why do many doctors have profound reservations about legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide? Ole Hartling, drawing from his experience as a physician, university professor, and former chairman of the Danish Council of Ethics, introduces new perspectives into this complex debate. He examines whether alleviating suffering necessitates removing the sufferer and questions the reality of self-determination in dying. Hartling personalizes ethical arguments through his medical experiences, sharing patient narratives and referencing medical literature. His skeptical stance towards euthanasia respects differing opinions and demonstrates a deep understanding of the nuances involved in various practices. From a Scandinavian viewpoint, where respect for autonomy and high-quality palliative care coexist, Hartling offers a nuanced contribution to a question that has challenged doctors since medicine's inception. He illustrates how the desire to alleviate suffering can lead to profound dilemmas, highlighting the conflicts faced by clinicians and the moral complexities surrounding the choice to end life.
