Abstract
Open-access reader
The author offers grounds for preferring a `fiduciary9 model of the doctor-patient relationship to either an `authoritative9 or a `contractual9 model. Within this framework he suggests that certain acts of euthanasia could be accommodated not in any way as duties, but as supererogatory acts of kindness to the patient.
