CONT

[...] il règne une grande confusion dans la population entre le droit de mourir dans la dignité, soit celui de laisser le processus de la mort s'installer et suivre son cours tout en contrôlant les souffrances du malade, et le droit à la mort qui ouvre la porte à une intervention visant à faire délibérément mourir.
