Udo's most recent publications are on end-of-life issues (in particular the question of whether competent patients with a psychiatric illness should be eligible for medical aid in dying), on whether there are sound ethical reasons to accommodate conscientious objectors in the medical profession, and on the issue of whether catastrophically ill patients have a moral claim to be provided with access to unregistered medical interventions. His answers: yes, no, yes.
