Abstract

We, “the Healthcare team, act as patient advocates. We support and protect them. We often find ourselves in ethical situations that conflicts with our personal and professional morals.” The right to die is one of the most sensitive requests granted to a dying patient. It should be recognized that “patients have the right to make their own decisions in order to preserve their own wishes, dignity and respect.” One of these choices involves the right to die which is a very sensitive issue (“physician-assisted suicide”, 2011).

Who are involved in the decision making?

The right to die and the right to live are personal choices. A healthcare team or physician granting the dying patient their request of what kind of care and dignity they would like to be treated should not be mistaken as murder or suicide, but should instead be seen as “mercy killing” or “Euthanasia” which is the act of painlessly putting to death or allowing to die in order to prevent any further suffering.”
