Life-ending services
Life-ending services refer to medical procedures or interventions, such as euthanasia or physician-assisted death, aimed at intentionally ending a person's life to relieve suffering from terminal illness or unmanageable pain. These services are typically regulated by law, involve careful ethical considerations, and are carried out with the individual's informed consent. The goal is to provide a dignified end-of-life option in cases where quality of life is severely compromised, respecting personal autonomy while balancing legal and ethical standards in healthcare.
