Research from CHIBE’s Fostering Improvement in End-of-Life Decision Science (FIELDS) program was highlighted in The Economist after the publication of a JAMA Internal Medicine article entitled, “States Worse Than Death Among Hospitalized Patients with Serious Illnesses.”
The magazine wrote: “Asking people approaching, or threatened with death, how they feel about it, and the moment at which they would like it to come, is a welcome development. Both sides of the doctor-assisted-dying debate should pay attention to it.”
