An ethical review of euthanasia web sites.
Euthanasia is an act of mercifully killing or letting die a sick or injured individual, and is an alternative to palliative care. As a healthcare related web site, a euthanasia site should satisfy standard ethical criteria such as the HONcode. In this paper, we report our preliminary review of euthanasia web sites for compliance with HONcode criteria.
