Right to Die
The "Right to Die" refers to the legal and ethical concept that individuals have the right to choose to end their own life, particularly in cases of terminal illness or unbearable suffering. This concept often involves discussions about euthanasia and assisted suicide, where medical professionals may provide assistance to individuals seeking to end their lives.
Laws regarding the Right to Die vary significantly across different regions. In some places, such as Oregon in the United States, legislation allows for physician-assisted dying under specific conditions. In contrast, other areas maintain strict prohibitions against any form of assisted death, leading to ongoing debates about personal autonomy and the role of healthcare providers.
