Choosing to die
The Plateforme nationale pour la recherche sur la fin de vie and the Réseau québécois de recherche en soins palliatifs et de fin de vie (RQSPAL) are co-hosting their second online scientific day to question research issues surrounding euthanasia, assisted suicide and medical aid in dying.
In Quebec, a debate conducted from 2012 to 2015 led to the development of the Palliative Care Act, which framed and legalized euthanasia under the term "medical aid in dying" (AMD). On the other side of the Atlantic, in France, the debate is animating political spheres and consultations are underway.
What can we learn from the experience of five years of legalization in Quebec? Have grieving processes changed? How does this new "care" impact healthcare professionals? This new field of study is fascinating, and many researchers are questioning the issue.
This free scientific event is aimed at researchers, healthcare professionals, students and, more generally, anyone interested in the subject of palliative and end-of-life care.
Registrations are open until November 4, 2021 on the Zoom platform.
