Assisted Dying

Assisted dying raises profound questions about life, suffering, autonomy, dignity, medicine, responsibility, and compassion. Different societies and cultures approach these questions in different ways. The Human Constitution explores the dignity of every human life while recognizing the complexity of situations involving severe suffering, terminal illness, and personal choice. Through Istima, assisted dying invites reflection on mortality, care, autonomy, responsibility, and what it means to support one another with dignity through life's most difficult transitions.
