TY - JOUR T1 - The doctor-patient relationship and euthanasia JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 195 LP - 198 DO - 10.1136/jme.8.4.195 VL - 8 IS - 4 AU - Gary E Jones Y1 - 1982/12/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/8/4/195.abstract N2 - The author offers grounds for preferring a `fiduciary' model of the doctor-patient relationship to either an `authoritative' or a `contractual' model. Within this framework he suggests that certain acts of euthanasia could be accommodated not in any way as duties, but as supererogatory acts of kindness to the patient. ER -
