Assisted suicide, also referred to as medical aid in dying, is currently legal in 11 U.S. jurisdictions but remains deeply controversial and prohibited in most others. This Open Door Forum will examine the ethical, legal, and operational implications of assisted suicide for healthcare providers and organizations.
Hospitals and clinicians face complex challenges in balancing patient autonomy, professional integrity, legal compliance, and institutional values, particularly in end-of-life care decisions involving cost, liability, and equity. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly or disabled, raise concerns about coercion and access to palliative care, while providers in faith-based or conscience-driven settings grapple with moral participation. The legality of assisted suicide further influences clinical decisions, documentation, provider burden, and resource allocation, prompting critical questions: Who determines when life ends? What is the provider’s role? How does reimbursement shift when assisted suicide is an option?
This is your chance to be part of the conversation about one of the most pressing ethical dilemmas facing healthcare today so join the forum today and submit your pressing questions!
