Axis 5 – Ethical issues and end-of-life practices

This axis aims at better understanding the theoretical, practical, ethical, legal and political issues inherent to euthanasia, medical assistance in dying, assisted suicide and end-of-life practices, as well as their complex relationship with suicide. More generally, it also aims at highlighting the ethical issues inherent to research and clinical practices on suicide and end-of-life care.
