VSED Should Not Be a Pathway to MAiD (Though Both Are Ethically Permissible)
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent changes in aid in dying laws have led some to argue for a pathway from Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD). Proponents point to the Sontag case as demonstrating the efficacy of the practice. This article first provides an overview of the development of the practice of VSED and MAiD and provides

Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The issue of post‐trial responsibility is about what is owed to research participants after a clinical trial ends, who is responsible, and how long this responsibility must endure. Despite two decades of international guidance on this issue, research involving novel high‐risk interventions—such as implantable neurotechnologies—raises ...
