Titel: End of life decisions

Termin: 26.9.2002 bis 28.9.2002

Veranstaltungsort:
Maastricht, The Netherlands

Kurzbeschreibung: EACME unites centers for medical ethics from various regions in Europe. It aims to stimulate communication between several traditions in medical ethics.

Within the broad area of ethical issues around the end of life, special attention will be given to palliative care and euthanasia. These topics are especially relevant given recent legal developments in The Netherlands and Belgium. The discussion on these subjects is also of importance in the UK, France, Germany and other European countries.

On September 27th the conference will be open for non-members. The program on this public day will include parallel sessions. Papers for these sessions may cover various aspects of ethics around the end of life (palliative care ethics, euthanasia, non-treatment decisions, incompetence, to mention a few).
