Abstract
Analyses, with reference to case law, the legal arguments relating to end-of- life decision-making, including the notions of: (1) the sanctity of life; (2) double effect, applicable in such cases where treatment to ease pain has the foreseen consequence of hastening death; (3) the futility of life-sustaining treatment; (4) the possible "slippery slope" with regard to legislative developments; and (5) autonomy in end-of- life choices.
