    Bioethics Seminar

    Is there a right to starve to death?


    The recent controversial case of Margaret Page raised the vexed issue of a right to death in
    NZ Health care. Some argued that her actions of refusing food were equivalent to suicide
    and that she should have been treated with artificial nutrition and hydration. Others argued
    that she had a right to choose her own death. Yet others argued that she had a right to
    refuse health care even when that might save her life. We will introduce and discuss the
    ethical and legal issues.
