Aims and Scope

Articles published in the Journal cover a wide range — from academically-detailed investigations to editorials and review articles, from poetry to photography and art. Authors include clinicians ranging from doctors to doulas, pharmacists to chaplains, nurses to trained end-of-life volunteers.

While the Journal focuses on aid-in-dying care in the U.S., articles that examine aid in dying in other countries that enlighten aid-in-dying care in the U.S. are also welcome.
