"Death with dignity" refers to the concept of allowing individuals to make choices about their end-of-life care, particularly in cases of terminal illness. This approach emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy, enabling patients to decide how and when they wish to die, often with the assistance of medical professionals. In some regions, laws such as physician-assisted suicide or medical aid in dying provide legal frameworks for patients to receive prescriptions for life-ending medications. Advocates argue that this practice respects individual rights and alleviates suffering, while opponents raise ethical concerns about the implications for vulnerable populations.
