Description
Eugenio Pucci and co-authors write in response to a European position statement on palliative care and medically assisted dying. Their 2026 letter agrees with the statement's core claim: people with long-term neurological conditions must keep access to early, high-quality palliative care whatever the law on assisted dying becomes. The original statement spoke for three European neurology bodies.
The letter then pushes the discussion one step further, onto ground neurologists meet daily. What should a doctor do when a competent patient keeps asking for assisted dying? The authors raise that question as the live edge of the debate, extending rather than contesting the position statement.
