Seow Hon Tan, SJD Biography
- Title:
- Associate Professor of Law at Singapore Management University
- Position:
- Con to the question "Should Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Twenty years after the Advance Medical Directive Act came
into force in Singapore, the issue of the legalisation of
physician-assisted suicide and voluntary active euthanasia
remains live… [T]he contention of Toh and Yeo that the benefits of allowing terminally-ill patients the option of physician-assisted suicide far outweigh the harms is not supported. A fortiori, voluntary active euthanasia should not be legalised.”“The Case against Physician-Assisted Suicide and Voluntary Active Euthanasia: A Jurisprudential Consideration,” Singapore Academy of Law Journal, Aug. 2017
