# Legal analyst Nonhlanhla Mtshali says euthanasia or medically assisted suicide cases raise complex constitutional and moral questions, balancing the right to life with dignity and suffering. This follows Dignity South Africa’s landmark High Court application in Pretoria seeking to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill patients under strict safeguards. The organisation argues patients should have a regulated choice at the end of life. Mtshali says the matter is likely to reach the Constitutional Court, potentially leading to new legislation if successful.
