Do you think that persistent treatment of a person unable to live independently is an ethical behaviour?

You are kindly invited to participate in the sixth Round Table Debate of the Lazarski University. It is a form of a debate during which we are going to discuss controversial topics concerning medicine.

Euthanasia must be distinguished from the decision to forego so-called "aggressive medical treatment", in other words, medical procedures which no longer correspond to the real situation of the patient, either because they are by now disproportionate to any expected results or because they impose an excessive burden on the patient and his family.

If you are interested, you are welcomed to participate and speak your mind during the Round Table Debate which will take place on the 22 April 2026 at 8.30 am in room 58.
