Abstract
In 2013, the Greenwall Foundation announced the funding of a new bioethics grants program, Making a in Real-World Bioethics Dilemmas. This program is designed to support research to help resolve an important emerging or unanswered bioethics problem in clinical care, biomedical research, public health practice, or public policy. The Foundation explained that its goal for these grants is to have a real-world, practical impact. The Foundation made an award and decided to fund our proposal.The overarching goal of our Making a Difference proposal is to rigorously address the following three questions in a structured way, providing ethical guidance to the hospice industry:1. What obligation do hospice staff have to report instances in which they believe that a patient may have received assistance in committing suicide from a friend or family member?2. What obligation do hospice staff have to report instances in which they believe that a patient may have received assistance from a health care provider (in states where such assistance is illegal)?3. What are the key components of hospice policies that could provide guidance for hospice employees regarding their reporting obligations?
