Nurses encounter innumerable situations that include professional, legal, and ethical dimensions, including witnessing people experiencing intractable, distressing symptoms from an illness who wish for them to cease. While not all practicing nurses contend with death and dying regularly, based on many definitions and descriptions of our profession, doing so is a fundamental aspect of nurses’ work. In this issue of the Journal of Advanced Nursing, Demedts et al. (2023) address an aspect of death and dying, euthanasia, in their study about 237 Belgium nursing students’ attitudes toward this practice for people experiencing mental illness and who are living through “unbearable mental suffering (UMS).” The authors describe adapting the existing Euthanasia Attitude Scale to create and evaluate a new scale to measure nursing student acceptability of euthanasia for such people. The authors found that most students “were supportive towards the acceptability of UMS-euthanasia.” While this finding, and the new scale itself, are important contributions for practice and research, they are equally significant because they invite readers to think about euthanasia and its place in modern society. Euthanasia for people with a terminal illness is legal in a few locales, but in even fewer for people with UMS, including Belgium. While cultural and societal norms or laws may not change abruptly, the authors of this article extend, or even reignite, the discussion about a practice that has relevance for nurses globally. Their scale can be used as a teaching strategy to initiate discussions about palliation, dimensions of illness and suffering (both body and mind), health policy, the law, and autonomy. Though not the aim of their study, the authors secondarily invite readers to reflect on their own attitudes, knowledge, and values about euthanasia. This provocation of thought is the mark of a noteworthy article!
