Euthanasia: a contemporary nursing issue.
Euthanasia remains a contentious issue. The medical profession has difficulty in coming to terms with euthanasia because of professional and ethical conflicts. There has been little guidance from the UKCC on the issue of euthanasia. Nurses may be in a better position to examine the issue more objectively. There is an opportunity for the nursing profession to take a leading role in developing policy.
