Voluntary Euthanasia Society  

Définition

  • The Voluntary Euthanasia Society (VES) was formed in the United Kingdom in 1935 by a group of clergy, physicians and lawyers who believed in an adult patient's right to choice near the end of his or her life and the right to die with dignity. Independent of any religious group or governmental agency, the organization, which officially changed its name to Dignity in Dying in 2005, advocates for legal medically assisted dying under tight guidelines and with the patient in charge of pain relief and medical care; more open discussion about dying; and more quality support for medical personnel who must deal with end-of-life issues.
