Hi everyone, This is my first time posting on allnurses.com. I am a final year nursing student at Napier University, Edinburgh. Part of my coursework involves selecting one of the World Health Organisation palliative care principles. I have chosen 'intends neither to hasten or postpone death.' My essay will provide a literature review and analyse wether euthanasia has any place within palliative care - What are your views on this? How does the above discussion relate to clinical practice?
