Abstract:
As a new view of life,death with dignity involves the behavior that dominates the interests of individual life.Due to the influences of Chinese traditional culture,professional ethics,policies and laws,medical service supplies and other factors,the social implementation of death with dignity has brought many ethical problems.The improper social implementation of death with dignity will infringe on citizens' right to life and human dignity.In view of this problem,we should pay attention to the education of citizens' view of life and death,improve the specific operation procedures of death with dignity,and enhance the supply capacity of hospice care services in designing the system of death with dignity,so as to better safeguard and protect the basic rights and interests of citizens.
