【This is an issue that should be considered while one is healthy, and may be a matter to address before thinking about inheritance.】
Good morning.
I apologize for starting the Monday morning with such a heavy topic, but we have received many questions and opinions regarding “dignity in death,” “euthanasia,” “living will,” and “end-of-life care.”
While some with religious beliefs or ideologies argue that “the right to choose death should be left to fate,” others voice that “the right to die belongs to the individual.”
Although I am not a legal expert, I have pondered this theme.
If rights and obligations are two sides of the same coin, then the right to live comes with obligations that arise from living.
So, what obligations might arise from the “right to die”?
Have you ever thought about this?
Please take even just a few seconds to consider it.
This question will surely enrich your perspective on life.
We, as healthcare professionals, believe we can contribute to the discussion surrounding “dignity in death,” “euthanasia,” “living will,” and “end-of-life care.”
The phrase “right to choose death” often carries the risk of being interpreted as an affirmation of suicide.
