On September 30, 2021, join me and the other co-editors of Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking: A Compassionate, Widely-Available Option for Hastening Death, for the Annual Barbara Swartz End of Life Choices Lecture.
We will discuss Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) and why some decisionally-capable persons chose to hasten their dying with this legal end of life option. We will also explore the benefits and challenges of completing an advance directives to stop eating and drinking (AD to SED) as a means to shorten the dying process for those with advanced dementia. We will discuss the topic from the multi-disciplinary perspectives of medicine, ethics, law, and nursing. This session will be of value to anyone seeking to learn more about VSED.
