'''Dignified death''', '''death with dignity''', '''dying with dignity''' or '''dignity in dying''' is an ethical concept that refers to the end-of-life process avoiding [[suffering]] and maintaining [[control (psychology)|control]] and [[autonomy]].<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://ri.conicet.gov.ar/handle/11336/39776|title=El derecho en los finales de la vida y el concepto de muerte digna|journal=Apuntes de Bioética|year=2016}}</ref> In general, it is usually treated as an extension of the concept of dignified life, in which people retain their [[dignity]] and [[freedom]] until the end of their existence.<ref name="que es">{{cite web|url=https://dmd.org.co/que-es-muerte-digna/|title=¿Qué es muerte digna?|website=Fundación Pro Derecho a Morir Dignamente}}</ref> |

Although a dignified death can be [[natural death|natural]] and occur without any type of [[assisted suicide|assistance]],<ref name="que es"/> the concept is frequently associated with the [[right to die]],<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://dycsvictoria.uat.edu.mx/index.php/dycsv/article/view/46|title=La muerte digna como un derecho humano emergente|journal=Revista DyCS Victoria|year=2020}}</ref> as well as with the defense of the legalization of practices such as [[voluntary euthanasia]], [[physician-assisted suicide]], [[terminal sedation]] or the [[refusal of medical assistance]].<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.elsevier.es/es-revista-revista-calidad-asistencial-256-articulo-etica-muerte-digna-propuesta-consenso-13128649|title=Ética y muerte digna: propuesta de consenso sobre un uso correcto de las palabras|journal=Revista de Calidad Asistencial|year=2008}}</ref> According to its defenders, the possibility of this type of practices would be what would guarantee a dignified death, keeping free decisions until the last moment and avoiding an unnecessary agony.<ref name="que es"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://derechoamorir.org/|title=Derecho a Morir Dignamente}}</ref> |
