Assisted dying ‘does not worsen end-of-life care’

A recent study has shown that assisted dying does not worsen end-of-life care for patients who choose this option. The research, conducted by experts in the field, found that patients who opted for assisted dying often received the same level of care and support as those who did not choose this route.

This finding challenges commonly held beliefs that assisted dying could lead to a decrease in the quality of end-of-life care. The study suggests that healthcare providers are able to provide compassionate care to patients who are considering this option, and that they are able to maintain high standards of care throughout the process.

While the debate around assisted dying continues to be a contentious issue, this study provides valuable insight into the impact of this practice on end-of-life care. It suggests that patients who choose assisted dying can still receive the same level of care and support as those who opt for traditional end-of-life care options.
