"Death with Dignity" refers to laws that allow terminally ill patients to choose to end their lives through prescribed medication. This option is available in several regions, enabling individuals to avoid prolonged suffering and maintain control over their final moments. The process typically requires a patient to meet specific criteria, including a terminal diagnosis and mental competency. These laws are often associated with the broader concept of assisted dying, which includes various practices aimed at providing a compassionate end to life. Advocates argue that it respects personal autonomy, while opponents raise ethical concerns about potential abuses and the sanctity of life.
