Exploring The Right To Die: A Comprehensive Review Of Legal, Ethical And Clinical Dimensions

The "Right to Die" is a deeply complex and contentious issue that sits at the intersection of legal, ethical, and clinical domains. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the Right to Die, analyzing its evolution, the ethical dilemmas it presents, and its implications for clinical practice. The study investigates the historical development of the Right to Die, examining key legal cases and legislation that have shaped its current status in different jurisdictions. Ethical perspectives, including arguments for autonomy and the sanctity of life, are critically evaluated to highlight the moral tensions inherent in this debate. The paper attempts to explore the clinical challenges faced by healthcare professionals in navigating end-of-life care, particularly in contexts where the Right to Die is legally recognized. There is need for a balanced approach that respects individual rights while safeguarding vulnerable populations. The research attempts to conclude with recommendations for harmonizing legal, ethical and clinical standards to better address the complexities of end-of-life decision-making.
