I am working on a paper about ethics in professional healthcare/medicine.
It is difficult for me to word it properly, but here goes: Is "the right to die, or assisted suicide a question of ethics-or a moral dillema that healthcare professionals face? (helping terminal patients end their life).
I'm looking for any reference to this topic in the Phycians "code of ethics --which states something about it. I'm really having some difficulty finding exact refernce to it. Can you direct me to the right source?

You might want to also look at the morals and ethics of the hospice movement.
