The decisions that must be made at the time of an anticipated death, ideally by the patient but often by family or caregivers, call forth our highest values and deepest beliefs. Dying with dignity means different things to different people but must take into account the patient's autonomy, pain status, and dominion.

在预期死亡时必须做出的决定，理想情况下应由患者做出，但通常由家属或护理人员做出，这些决定唤起了我们最高的价值观和最深的信念。尊严死对不同的人有不同的含义，但必须考虑患者的自主权、疼痛状况和主导权。
