Argentina Senate passes 'dignified death' law

BBC News - Argentina Senate passes 'dignified death' law: The Argentine Senate has approved a "dignified death" law to give the terminally ill and their families more say in end-of-life decisions. The legislation means patients who are dying or suffering incurable illness or injury can refuse treatment, if there is an existing signed consent form. Until now, a court order was needed to end treatment or life support.
