Join us for an interactive webinar featuring Dr. Catherine Cook Cottone and Chelsea Roff as they discuss their latest publication, Assisted Death in Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review of Cases and Clinical Rationales. This session will delve into the findings of their recent research, exploring over sixty cases of euthanasia and assisted suicide in patients with eating disorders.
The authors will discuss how concepts such as treatment resistance, medical futility, individual autonomy, and severe and chronic stages of illness, and mental capacity have been used and misused to grant patients with eating disorders access to lethal medications. Ultimately, we hope this conversation will lead to greater understanding, increased transparency, and improved care for people with eating disorders.
The webinar will include a short talk followed by an interactive Q&A session, providing an opportunity for you to engage with the authors and the wider community about this critical topic.
