The Current ANA Position Statement,
Although a nurses participation in aid in dying has been prohibited by law and professional nursing ethics codes, numerous studies have shown that over the past 20 years 1%-18% of nurses provided or prescribed drugs to a patient knowing the patient intended to use them to hasten death or intentionally injected drugs to hasten a patients death (Stokes, 2017).
If you believe the idea that a changing trend and more people doing something is not the basis for change, defend your position. If you believe, more people doing something is a good reason to support the activity, defend your position.
