Ethical Dilemmas in End of Life Care: Dementia, Death and Dying
In this Lecture, John Wyatt explorers issues facing doctors today in the areas of palliative care, euthanasia and assisted dying. This hard look at suicide and killing of patients helps us to see that there is another way, a way where we can keep patients comfortable so that death can be as God honoring as life.
Length: 53mins
