Boardman Lecture XXXIII. Editor Jane Marie Pinzino.

Abstract

William May argues for a middle course regarding euthanasia and assisted suicide, rejecting absolutist positions and makes the point that neither life at any cost nor killing to cure a disease serves society or individuals very well. Elsa Ramsden, David Hufford, Neville Strumpf, Albert Stunkard, all participate in a panel discussion after the formal lecture.
