Right to die with dignity

The right to die with dignity refers to an individual's ability to make personal choices about end-of-life care, including the option to decline aggressive treatment and, in some cases, access assisted dying procedures where legal. It emphasizes respecting a person's autonomy and wish to avoid unnecessary suffering as they face terminal illness or severe decline. The concept balances compassion and individual rights, ensuring that dying processes are humane, respectful, and aligned with personal values, rather than solely driven by medical or societal expectations.
