'Right to Die', what's your take on it?

Nurses General Nursing

So California recently passed the 'right to die' law and I recently saw an episode on 'Vice' where a woman in Europe actually allowed the journalist to record her euthanasia. A nurse was there who set up the heplock in her vein where the medication went in. Wanted to know what other nurses think of the 'right to die' law which is now legal in 5 states and if you would participate in it if there were a nursing job for that?

Specializes in Cardiac ICU, ER, PICU, Corrections.

Who am I to tell a person they cannot die in peace? I believe everyone deserves dignity and a choice in how they leave the world.
