AB - In South Korea, a proposal that would legalize physician-assisted suicide was recently introduced in the National Assembly. According to this proposal, patients with a terminal illness who are ex-periencing constant and unbearable physical or mental suffering that cannot be alleviated could request medical assistance in the suspension of life. This article describes the current status of phy-sician-assisted suicide in countries that have already legalized it, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Canada, and discusses some of the controversial aspects concerning the recent proposal to legalize physician-assisted suicide in South Korea.
