Sammanfattning
In 2015, the Medical Ethics Council of the Norwegian Medical Association formulated a new clause on so-called active help in dying (in Norwegian: «aktiv dødshjelp»),
which was unanimously adopted in the same year by the Representative Body of the association. However, the wording of the clause is unclear and potentially confusing.
This is unfortunate for the clinical, ethical and political debate on this topic. This article proposes an alternative wording which is more precise.
