End-of-life decision-making: A cross-sectional study on knowledge and views of the Dutch general public

Knowledge scores were calculated; exploratory factor analysis and linear regressions examined underlying constructs and associations…

The ethics of ethics conferences: Is Qatar a desirable location for a bioethics conference
The next World Congress of Bioethics will be held in Doha, Qatar.

What About Us? Experiences of Relatives Regarding Physician-Assisted Death for Patients Suffering from Mental Illness: A Qualitative Study

We aim to understand the views of patients with mental illness and wish to die with regard to the possibility of PAD in …

We set up this study to gain insight into how psychiatrists and general practitioners distinguish between suicidality and physi…

Children's self reported discomforts as participants in clinical research
Doctors as judges: The verdict on responsibility for health
Smokers, drinkers, animal fat eaters, the inactive and the obese, they are all blamed for their potential ill health by doctors, society and their families, in western societies victim blaming is a widespread phenomenon. Doctors are encouraged or even put under pressure to judge behaviour as a tool to allocate and ration medical procedures, by governments or insurance companies that want to keep the healthcare expenditure within strict limits. In…
