End-of-Life Options
End-of-life options refer to the choices available to individuals facing terminal illnesses or severe suffering regarding how they wish to approach their final days. These options can include palliative care, which focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life, and hospice care, which provides support for patients and families during the end stages of life.
Another option is assisted dying, which allows eligible individuals to request medical assistance to end their life under specific legal conditions. This practice varies by region, with some places like Oregon and Canada having laws that permit it, while others do not.
