CUHK Centre for Bioethics & Hong Kong Bioethics Association Joint Distinguished Bioethics Seminar - Regulating Physician-Assisted Suicide Solely Based on Autonomy: The General Citizen’s Right to Receive Assistance in Suicide in Germany

How far should the right to personal autonomy go? At the heart of Germany’s pivotal bioethics debate is whether citizens have a general right to receive assistance in suicide (a type of euthanasia), and if autonomy alone should guide its regulation.

Join us for the next Distinguished Bioethics Seminar, jointly organized by the CUHK Centre for Bioethics and the Hong Kong Bioethics Association.

We are honoured to host Professor Jochen VOLLMANN (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany), who will present on:
Regulating Physician-Assisted Suicide Solely Based On Autonomy: The General Citizen’s Right to Receive Assistance In Suicide In Germany.
