Physician-assisted suicide or physician-assisted death (PAD) occurs when a healthcare professional aids in providing lethal medication to a patient with a terminal illness. Healthcare policy plays a vital role in shaping protocols related to this issue. North Carolina is 1 of 4 states that has no specific laws or policies regarding physician-assisted death.
