Discussion: Ethical Issues in Death and Dying
Appraise the ethical issues surrounding "end-of-life" considerations. Specifically, analyze advanced directives, euthanasia and assisted suicide from a patient perspective.
• Why are these issues so controversial?
• What are the legal and ethical ramifications associated with these issues?
• Reflect on the passage from your course text (p.501) What is Your Opinion? Will You Choose to Live or Die? Compare the implications of prolonging life for older adults versus younger people.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
