Assisted Suicide

Assisted suicide, also known as medical aid-in-dying, refers to the practice of providing terminally ill individuals with the means to end their own lives with the assistance of a medical professional. As technology advances and medical records become increasingly digitized, the tech community is grappling with the implications of assisted suicide on data privacy, healthcare IT, and the role of technology in end-of-life care, sparking important discussions about ethics, security, and the intersection of technology and healthcare.
