Abstract
|
|
|
|
With the recent proposal in the Korean National Assembly of the so-called “Aided Dignity Death Act,” which allows certain patients to end their lives with the help of medical professionals, public debates are underway in South Korea concerning appropriate end-of-life medical care and what it means to die with dignity. This article argues that preemptive concerns about the death of as-sistance dignity should be prioritized. As a result of this, continuous discussion and interest in assisted suicide, that is, assisted suicide, are naturally necessary.
