Homework Help Forum: code of ethics

Posted by Diana on Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 9:07pm.

I am working on a paper about ethics in professional healthcare/medicine. It is difficult for me to word it properly, but here goes: Is "the right to die, or assisted suicide a question of ethics-or a moral dillema that healthcare professionals face? (helping terminal patients end their life). I'm looking for any reference to this topic in the Phycians "code of ethics --which states something about it. I'm really having some difficulty finding exact refernce to it. Can you direct me to the right source?
