Dr. Greg Mewett:

I do not see that palliative care has any specific ownership of the problems about slippery slopes or whatever. All I know is that these patients deserve a legal end-of-life choice that they otherwise would not have to end a suffering that is inevitably going to end in their death. Palliative care historically has not accepted assisted dying because of philosophical problems, but that does not mean that these philosophical problems do not evolve over time as society evolves over time.
