Notes
Assisted Lab is a research group based at University of St Gallen, Switzerland, with research affiliates in Canada, Northern Ireland, and the Netherlands, which investigates the cultural productions – including films, texts, and other media – that influence the legal and political processes around assisted dying.
Bringing together scholars, healthcare professionals, patients, and artists, our transnational, comparative project engages with the multilingual spaces and cultural contexts in which end-of-life accounts are elaborated. It disentangles how they affect law-making and, in turn, shows how a given legal context creates the possibilities of giving meaning to death.
As the archive is a continually evolving project, we are always keen to hear about new material that archive users feel should be included within it. While the body of material of which we are currently aware is extensive, we are conscious that, as legal, political and societal discussions in various countries evolve, there will inevitably be new cultural material produced, which merits consideration for the ways it is shaping medical, legal and political discourses of assisted dying. We therefore encourage users to suggest new content by clicking the 'Participate' button on our site.
