The Last Right:  A Human Right to Die with Dignity and Autonomy by John Jolissaint We often hear that pain is temporary, that time heals all wounds, that things will get better eventually. But what if they don’t? What if the pain is chronic, the wounds are deep, the things are broken beyond repair? What if we have to live with the pain, not just for a while, but for the rest of our lives? Is that a fate worse than death, or is there a way to find meaning and purpose in our suffering? Imagine that you are diagnosed with a terminal illness that causes you unbearable pain and suffering, and that there is no cure or treatment that can improve your condition or prolong your life.

Sorry.  Mandatory health measures in healthcare are interventions that require individuals or groups to comply with certain actions or behaviors for the purpose of protecting or improving public health.  Examples include vaccination, screening, quarantine, isolation, and mask-wearing.  While these measures are effective in preventing disease spread, they also raise ethical questions.  Balancing public health benefits with individual autonomy, ensuring necessity and fairness, addressing potential harms, and engaging with affected communities are key ethical considerations.  Recommendations include assessing ethical implications, involving affected communities, and monitoring outcomes.  By following ethical principles and recommendations, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners can promote justified and acceptable mandatory health measures that respect individual rights, foster trust, and enhance population health.
