Letters from the World #6

8/10/2023 | 16:34 - Dulce, a physician specializing in geriatrics and palliative medicine at Johns Hopkins, shares her experience of facing the problem of Physician Assisted Suicide.

In January I went to St. Jane de Chantal parrish with a friend to a talk about the bill that is being considered by Maryland legislators to legalize physician assisted suicide (PAS, defined as the act of a clinician to prescribe a lethal medication for the patient to kill him or herself). This is different from euthanasia, where the clinician performs the killing of a patient with a lethal medication.
