Daniel Sperling

I am a faculty member and the Head of the Master’s Program in Nursing at the Department of Nursing, University of Haifa. I also serve as an Associate Editor of BMC Medical Ethics and Member of the of the Executive Editorial Board in Nursing Ethics. Recently, I joined as a Management Committee Member of a COST Action on the ethics of dementia care, and a member in a COST Action on palliative care.

My research areas are bioethics, especially ethics at end-of-life, health law and health policy. My recent book discusses and analyzes the phenomenon suicide tourism (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/suicide-tourism-9780198825456?cc=il&lang=en&#).

I am currently involved in few studies on palliative care; decision-making at end-of-life; issues relating to end-of-life needs and concerns of older LGBT people; moral distress in nursing; the study of compassion in medical ethics; and informal caregiving of the ageing population, especially by family members.
