Gk. Kimsma et E. Vanleeuwen, COMPARING 2 EUTHANASIA PROTOCOLS - THE FREE-UNIVERSITY-OF-AMSTERDAM-ACADEMIC-HOSPITAL AND THE MEDICAL-CENTER-OF-ALKMAAR, CQ. Cambridge quarterly of healthcare ethics, 5(1), 1996, pp. 145-156
Hospital ethics committees in The Netherlands have had the unique resp
onsibility of developing euthanasia policies for their institutions. A
lthough each policy necessarily reflects a particular facility, family
resemblances necessarily remain. In the interest of ethics committees
outside The Netherlands that may soon face the same challenge, two su
ch policies are presented here accompanied by commentary highlighting
their similarities and differences.
