Résumé

A request for hastened death can mean many things, from an emotional plea for help with unmet needs to a request for legal provision of chemically induced hastened death. Regardless of whether the clinician supports legally available hastened death, knowing how to respond to requests for hastened death is important. Responding in an empathic and open manner will strengthen the therapeutic relationship between the patient and clinician. Suggested scripts on how to respond are provided. A framework for assessing the patient's preparation at various stages in the decisional journey is suggested. Additional factors including caring for the family and involving other healthcare providers are discussed. Last, there is some exploration of ethics considerations and a summary of legal chemically induced hastened death availability internationally.
