End-of-life care for unauthorized immigrants in the U.S.

METCHNIKOFF, Christopher | NAUGHTON, Gregory | PERIYAKOIL, Vyjeyanthi S.

The notion of patients' rights is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which recognizes inherent human dignity and the equal and unalienable rights of all members of the human family to be universally protected irrespective of race, color, gender, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. These fundamental human rights become particularly important to seriously ill patients as they are vulnerable due to the limitations imposed by their illness(es).
