The aid-in-dying question

The aid-in-dying question
The Washington Post, by Matt Valliere; 1/31/24
... As medical aid in dying is becoming legal in more states in this country, the terms “euthanasia” and “assisted suicide” are inaccurate, each in its own way. Where medical aid in dying, or MAID, is legal in the United States, the medication must be self-administered, whereas euthanasia involves a physician or other person being the agent of death. The term “suicide” and, hence, assisted suicide, should refer to a situation where the individual is not facing a terminal prognosis. Aid in dying is what it says: It is helping someone who is already dying and has no hope of recovery.
