| | |Voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are legal in Caphiria to any patient suffering "unbearably without hope". Two actively-licensed physicians must be present at the time of the request and at the time of death. Additionally, patients retain the right to refuse medical treatment and to receive appropriate management of pain at their request, even if the patients' choices hasten their deaths. Additionally, futile or disproportionately burdensome treatments, such as life-support machines, may be withdrawn under specified circumstances only with the informed consent of the patient or, in the event of the incompetence of the patient, with the informed consent of the legal surrogate. | ||
