End of Life Care in Belgium: Palliative Care Meets Assisted Dying.
In 2002, the Belgian Parliament enacted twin laws: one on euthanasia with legal safeguards and one on universal access to palliative care. Jan Bernheim, MD, PhD, and a medical oncologist on the faculty of the University of Brussels, will discuss the experience in Belgium since 2002 with palliative care and legal assisted dying. Presented by the Hemlock Society of San Diego.
