Physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia (PAS/E) has been increasingly discussed and debated in the public arena, including in professional medical organizations. However, the medical student perspective on the debate has essentially been absent. We present a medical student perspective on the PAS/E debate as future doctors and those about to enter the profession. We argue that PAS/E is not in line with the core principles of medicine and that the focus should be rather on providing high-quality end-of-life and palliative care.
在公共领域，包括在专业医疗组织中，协助自杀和安乐死（PAS/E）的话题越来越多地被讨论和辩论。然而，医学生对这场辩论的看法基本上是缺失的。我们作为未来的医生和即将进入这个行业的人，提出了医学生对 PAS/E 辩论的看法。我们认为，PAS/E 不符合医学的核心原则，而应该把重点放在提供高质量的临终关怀和姑息治疗上。
