'Natural death' laws cause hospitals few problems.
Laws covering a patient's "right to die" have been passed in eight states. With the exception of a very few minor problems, hospitals in these states report no difficulties and few changes in their procedures as a result of the new laws. Most hospital association activities have centered on education of member institutions about the content of the legislation.
