“Death with Dignity” is the popular term coined by newspapers, blogs, and tabloids, to euphemize the topic of euthanasia. Brittany Maynard used it often in the fight for her right to die while suffering from terminal brain cancer. This was shortly before her passing in November 2014. Her story was one of the most publicized in the world and proves that it, although controversial, begs to be discussed. Regardless of where we stand on the subject, it is as unavoidable as death itself.
The media has often thrown around words like hospice, palliative care, and euthanasia. The words can be easily confused with one another but each has its own respective meaning. Hospice and palliative care help their patients to achieve better qualities of life.
