Paternalism, parsed. Presenting empirical insights into the actions of physicians under the Austrian law on assisted dying
RATIONALE: In all jurisdictions with laws standardising the process of assisted dying, physicians play a key role. That they do is a concern in the academic literature, with critics accusing physicians of medical paternalism, particularly in relation to their role in assessing requests for assisted dying.

Nurses' perspectives on assisted suicide

Ongoing dialogue, enhanced training, and support for nurses to navigate both ethical and practical challenges posed by assisted suicide legislation is also needed. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions and explore the long-term impacts of assisted suicide on patients,…
