In recent decades, the level of moral acceptability of choice at
the end of life has reached record highs. Legislative
responsiveness to public opinion, however, has resulted in far
fewer and much slower adoption patterns. For example, if a growing
number of Americans support aid in dying legislation, why are so
few states adopting them? While extensive research that explores
matters of death and dying from the medical, legal, and religious
perspectives exists, scholars have yet to consider the role of
politics in explaining end of life policy adoption patterns. The
Chronic Silence of Political Parties in End of Life Policymaking in
the United States retraces the right to die movement's legislative
history from its beginnings to the adoption and diffusion of its
most recent innovations-the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining
Treatment (POLST) Paradigm and death with dignity-to identify the
various forces that hinder its progress.
