Subtitle: By Arthur Alderliesten MA, Dr. Roy R. Kloet, Prof. Henk Jochemsen
This report not only describes euthanasia in Europe and The Netherlands, but also offers a thorough reflection on what ‘end of life’ care means. It contemplates on the tradition of ‘ars moriendi’ and the report closes with a chapter on the significance of the spiritual caregiver in requests to end life.
