Law, Palliative Care and Dying critically examines the role of the
legal framework in shaping the boundaries of palliative care
practice. The work underlines the importance of a distinct legal
framework for specialist palliative care which can provide clarity
for both the healthcare professional and the patient. It examines
the legal and ethical justifications for specialist palliative care
practices and, in doing so, it questions the legitimacy of the
distinction between euthanasia and practices such as palliative
sedation. Moreover, this work discusses the influence of a human
rights discourse on palliative care and examines the contribution
of autonomy, dignity, and the right to palliative care. This book
includes detailed comparative research on several European
jurisdictions. The jurisdictions illustrate varied approaches to
palliative care regulation and promotion. In this manner, the role
of professional guidelines and legislation are drawn out and common
themes in the regulation of palliative care emerge.
