Abstract
Legislation supporting voluntary-assisted dying (VAD) is becoming more common globally, where it is used to promote an individual's autonomy in settings where they choose to alleviate their suffering by ending their life. This article examines and advocates for access to VAD in a new group - prisoners serving sentences of life imprisonment without parole. It addresses several morally important issues, and offers an ethical framework based on comparison to VAD in the setting of the terminally ill.
