End-of-life care: common desire for a good death, diverse views on achieving it.
Conclusion
Throughout our inquiry, a common theme across the evidence was the pursuit of the very best end of life care, and what many witnesses called “a good death”, where the person dying was cared for with compassion and high-quality care and provided with as much agency and choice as possible. However, there is spectrum of views on how to best achieve this. (Paragraph 12) Assisted Dying/Assisted Suicide
