The Right to Die Movement

The Right to Die Movement advocates for individuals to have the legal option to end their suffering through assisted death or euthanasia when facing terminal illness, severe pain, or loss of quality of life. It emphasizes personal autonomy, allowing people to choose a dignified death rather than endure prolonged suffering. Supporters argue that with proper safeguards, this choice respects individual rights and compassion. Critics often raise ethical concerns about morality and potential misuse. The movement's goals vary by jurisdiction, with some places legally permitting assisted dying under specific conditions, acknowledging a person's right to make decisions about their own end-of-life care.
