摘要：
Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) is a provocative and ethically charged subject that will potentially be an increasing component of our clinical practice. This paper aims to give the history of VAD, ethical principles, controversies and international perspectives regarding the laws in each jurisdiction. It provides a discussion on the topic with respect to gynaecological oncology to enable clinicians to feel more comfortable with this difficult subject.
