Rethinking End-of-Life Law

Act as a comparative public-policy analyst studying laws that legalize assisted dying for adults. Explain the ethical arguments on both sides, the safeguards that lawmakers typically build in, and the practical issues hospitals and physicians face when the law changes. Compare models based on capacity assessments, waiting periods, conscientious objection, palliative care access, and review procedures. Then draft a balanced implementation strategy that aims to protect vulnerable people while respecting personal autonomy.
