Sidney Wanzer, M.D., nationally
recognized authority on issues of death and dying, learned what
did and did not work for end-of-life treatment in almost four
decades of internal medicine, initially in private practice and
later with the Harvard University Health Services. He was the
lead author of the groundbreaking article in the New
England Journal of Medicine which for the first time held that, in certain
situations, it could be ethical for a physician to assist in
hastening the death of patients suffering intolerably. Dr. Wanzer
lives in Concord, Massachusetts, and has three grown children
and six grandchildren.
