  • Title: Of doctor-patient sex and assisted suicide.
    Author: Barilan YM.
    Journal: Isr Med Assoc J; 2003 Jun; 5(6):460-3. PubMed ID: 12841029.
    Abstract:
    The ethical chapter of the Israel Medical Association has recently issued guidelines with regard to sexual relationships between doctors and patients or past patients. This paper juxtaposes the paternalistic and severe attitude to doctor-patient sex with the relaxation and individualization of decisions regarding doctors' involvement in assisted suicide, passive and active euthanasia. The discussion bears on our concepts of palliative care and our expectations from it.
