dc.description.abstractMany diseases are associated with incredible pain and suf­fering. Others impair func­tion and independence to the extent that human dignity is eroded. In many instances the natural history of such conditions often leads to death within a reasonable period of time. In some cases, protracted ill health, pain, suffering and indignity ensue. Such circumstances have since time immemorial triggered the debate on euthana­sia – a debate on what it means to have a good death. Acting compassionately, many South African doctors have, to some extent, either passively or actively assisted patients in achieving a good death.en_ZA
