Legal and ethical aspects of refusing medical treatment after a suicide attempt : the Wooltorton case in the Australian context

Ryan CJ, Callaghan S Medical Journal of Australia, 2010, 193:239-242

Comment

An article everyone involved in end of life decision-making should read.  This article reviews the legal and ethical basis for judging competency of a patient to refuse treatment.  The principles outlined are very relevant to decision-making in ICU.
