Re: Would judicial consent for assisted dying protect vulnerable people?

Judicial Consent is a Must in Assisted Dying.

To avoid the misuse of assisted dying it is must get judicial authorities' consent. This will be helpful to avoid treatment neglect for patients in a critical condition. This may also be helpful in preventing organ trading.

So to assist and regulate sensitive issues such as assisted dying, judicial authorities' consent along with medical personal consent can also be helpful in giving legal cover to make a concrete decision in this matter.
