death with dignity  

Définition(s)

  • “Death with dignity” has long been a slogan of the “right to die” movement. Proponents of legalizing physician-assisted suicide and/or voluntary active euthanasia (in which mentally competent patients with terminal illnesses can request to end their lives and suffering) adopted this rallying cry as a means of speaking to the concern of the general public about the dehumanizing aspects of dying in increasingly technologically sophisticated health care settings.
