“…These kinds of broad cultural changes were reflected in a recent discourse analysis of the Carter decision from the Supreme Court of Canada that led to the legalization of assisted dying in Canada. Beaman and Steele44 revealed important distinctions between how religious and nonreligious interveners understood concepts such as suffering, pain, illness, and assisted dying. If current trends continue to shift toward different understandings of a good death, we can anticipate that increasingly nurses will need to be prepared for this new type of death.…”

The conceptualization of assisted death as an act performed by physicians has resulted in a lack of attention to nurses' roles and experiences with the processes that surround an assisted death. In this article, we synthesize evidence from 6 articles focusing on the experiences of 55 nurses from Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with relevant ethical and policy implications derived from the literature. Nurses have a central role in negotiating inquiries about assisted death and in providing wraparound care for patients, families, and other health care providers. This role is impactful for nurses and requires significant personal and professional moral work.

La expresión calidad de vida tiene un uso cada vez más generalizado en la práctica biomédica, sobre todo en situaciones de final de la vida. La experiencia demuestra que, muchas veces, esa expresión se emplea con alcances muy diversos, en ocasiones contrapuestos. En el presente artículo se exponen los resultados de una revisión bibliográfica que muestra tlas diferentes posturas y se propone una delimitación del tema. El análisis compara los términos “calidad de vida”, “dignidad humana” y “valor de la vida humana”.

“…The other alternative would be for these institutions to change their stance in relation to MAiD, certainly not an easy thing to ask when there have often been centuries of theological debate and thinking to inform their position on this matter. Further, the loss of faith‐informed health care would represent the loss of a unique cultural identity in Canada, an identity that may think differently about healthcare‐related concepts such as choice, dignity, and suffering (Beaman & Steele, ). I can't help but think back to the idea that a truly free and healthy society will allow for a range of ethical perspectives.…”

But it’s legal, isn’t it? Law and ethics in nursing practice related to medical assistance in dying

In June 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the Criminal Code's prohibition on assisted death. Just over a year later, the federal government crafted legislation to entrench medical assistance in dying (MAiD), the term used in Canada in place of physician‐assisted death. Notably, Canada became the first country to allow nurse practitioners to act as assessors and providers, a result of a strong lobby by the Canadian Nurses Association. However, a legislated approach to assisted death has proven challenging in a number of areas. Although it facilitates a degree of accountability, precision and accessibility, it has also resulted in particular challenges negotiating the diverse perspectives of such a morally contentious act. One of these challenges is the tendency to conflate what is legal and what is moral in a modern liberal constitutionalism that places supreme value on autonomy and choice. Such a conflation tends to render invisible the legal and moral/ethical considerations necessary for nurses and nurse practitioners to remain ethical actors. In this paper, we introduce this conflation and then discuss the process of lawmaking in Canada, including the legalization of MAiD and the contributions of nursing to that legalization. We then engage in a hypothetical dialogue about the legal and moral/ethical implications of MAiD for nursing in Canada. We conclude with an appeal for morally sustainable workspaces that, when implementing MAiD, appropriately balance patient choices and nurses’ moral well‐being.
