    This is a great question but the questions need clarity. Are. you trying to define the sides of the debate around assisted dying? or are you trying to understand what a person who wants to take this option needs to know? Either of these are things you can research. so here are two possible questions:

    What are the arguments for and against legalizing assisted dying?
    Or
    What does a person seeking assisted dying need to know or do?
