Assume that a national assisted suicide policy was in place and it became acceptable for physicians to provide lethal dosages of medications for the purpose of ending a patient's life. Review your professional code of ethics and your organization's position on the matter and write an essay as to whether the legalization would require you as a health professional to participate
The answer will depend on the individual code. Many codes will not address the issue and when it is addressed will likely forbid participation in the practice. There is also the issue as to whether the legalization of the practice would require you to participate. It would seem that professional autonomy would allow you to not participate even if the process became legal.
