Tennessee HB0598 proposes to establish a framework for physician-assisted dying for adults diagnosed with terminal diseases, allowing them to request medication to end their lives in a humane and dignified manner. The bill affects qualified patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system, outlining specific requirements for patient eligibility, physician responsibilities, and documentation processes. Key provisions include the necessity for multiple requests, waiting periods, informed consent, and protections against coercion, as well as immunity for participating healthcare providers from civil or criminal liability.
