DESCRIPTION:Few areas of medicine are as rife with ethical questions as th
 e end of life.  \nIs it ever appropriate for a physician to hasten a patie
 nt's death?  \nDo those who are using a disproportionate amount of societa
 l resources have a "duty to die"? \n Is the terminally ill patient who tak
 es his own life acting courageously\, or taking the easy way out?  \nWho d
 ecides when "enough is enough"?   \nIn this talk\, I will examine question
 s such as these from both analytic and practical angles\, with reference t
 o recent controversies such as Sarah Palin's supposed "Death Panels" and t
 he current furore over the Liverpool Care Pathway.\nBooking required at aj
