Physician-Assisted Dying: The Regulatory Challenges

Omar Ha-Redeye spoke on November 28, 2016, at the 12th Annual National Forum: Administrative Law & Practice, on a panel on “Physician-Assisted Dying: The Regulatory Challenges,”

Following the Supreme Court’s landmark Carter decision, and federal legislation amending the Criminal Code restriction on physician-assisted dying, a range of administrative law issues must now be addressed.
This panel will explore these issues, including:
• The development of standards of practice for physicians, nurses and pharmacists
• Challenges in enforcing the standards
• The public regulation of palliative care and related end-of-life issues
• The extension of public oversight to medically-assisted dying
