Legistrothanatry: a new speciality for assisting in death

Article Abstract:

Legistrothanatry, a new legal speciality comprising lawyers certified in the effective use of lethal dugs and devices, aims at helping people in pain who prefer to die comfortably. It has evolved as an alternative to the much debated physician-assisted suicide. Physician-assisted death is objected to on several moral and ethical grounds. A major issue is that a physician who has to cure ailments goes against his fundamental duty if he puts a human being to rest. Another concern is related to general distrust in physicians who may assist in suicide.
