In this book, prof. Den Hartogh considers a broad range of fundamental and practical matters – including concrete issues of legal regulation – related to end-of-life decision-making. We are delighted to announce that the keynote speaker for this conference will be Professor Wayne Sumner, university professor emeritus of the University of Toronto.
